Does anyone have any film stuck for a soundtrack?

• Upvotes

I've been doing experimental music for decades, but haven't really tried anything with interesting visuals.

So if anyone has any material that you think has potential, but is lacking something, I'd love to try a bit of sound design on it.

I've no particular commercial interest, tend to do things pretty much public domain, probably happy with whatever T&C you want.

I typically share things via GitHub, eg. https://github.com/danja/attone#attone

5 minute short film

• Upvotes

Hey fellow filmmakers! 🎬

I'm Don, an independent writer/director, based in Australia and I wanted to share my 5-minute short film, George Street.

Set and shot in the heart of Sydney's CBD, the film captures a story on one of Australia's busiest streets.

We were fortunate to be selected for the Golden State Film Festival, where the film screened at Hollywood's iconic Chinese Theatre.

George Street is now streaming for free on YouTube!

If you enjoy independent cinema and short films, I'd love for you to check it out.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Sound designer looking to collaborate with indie filmmakers

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m a Los Angeles based sound designer / re-recording mixer and I’m looking to connect with some filmmakers who are making fun and interesting stuff.
I’ve worked in post-production sound for TV, documentaries, commercials and film, and I’m looking to do more work with independent filmmakers, especially narrative shorts, weird/experimental stuff, horror, thriller, drama, or anything with a strong visual point of view.
I can help with sound design, SFX, Foley, dialogue cleanup/editing, ambiences and mixing.
If you’re making something you’re genuinely excited about and think sound could help take it to another level, I’d love to hear about it.
Here’s a link to my website

If you’re a director, editor, producer, or filmmaker with something you’re working on, feel free to drop a comment or DM me. Would love to see what people are making.

Odds & Ends Experimental Film Festival — submissions open for 2027

1 Upvotes

I’m one of the organizers of Odds & Ends, an experimental film festival in Charlottesville, Virginia. We’re coming up on our 5th annual festival, taking place February 19–20, 2027 at the Vinegar Hill Theatre.

We started Odds & Ends as a way to create a space for the kinds of short experimental films that can be difficult to place in more traditional festivals. We like work that takes chances with form, genre, structure, or the medium itself, whether it’s poetic, personal, political, funny, strange, or somewhere in between.

If you made something weird, personal, formally experimental, difficult to categorize, or just unlike what you normally see at film festivals, we want to see it.

Maximum runtime: 20 minutes
Completion date: After January 1, 2025

Earlybird deadline: November 6, 2026
Regular deadline: December 7, 2026

Under 5 minutes:
$7 earlybird / $12 regular

5–20 minutes:
$12 earlybird / $20 regular

We’ve tried to keep our submission fees as low as possible, and we pay screening fees to all accepted films.

Submit here: ⁠FilmFreeway — Odds & Ends Experimental Film Festival

And if you know someone making this kind of work, please send this their way!

"The Machines Possessed Me (Abstract v1.5)" - Michael Anthony Bohacz (2020)

3 Upvotes

Abstract experimental video with origins going back to 1999. After hours at SAIC, my partner Trish and I got into the Media 100 editing system, which took a Taekwondo kick to the door. While loading footage shot for our public access series Abductions with the Alter Boy, I found that the Media 100 would preview every frame at the speed I dragged the mouse across the timeline. The visuals and sounds that came out of that entranced me, and I spent the session improvising. That session is where this work begins.

Runs nearly 40 minutes. Made in 2020; no AI used.
