Hey what's up!

My name is Diego and I'm a 17 year old Colombian filmaker!

These are some stills from my first short film called "ME, THE MAGGOT"

They are going to show it tomorrow in my university!

How can I send it to festivals? How difficult would it be for a 17-year-old living in Latin America? Cinema is a very niche topic in my country.

What has your experience been like with your first short films?

Hey everyone! My name is Diego and I'm a 17 year old Colombian Filmmaker! I've made my first stop motion short film, and i don't know how and where to find a composer!

I know about royalty-free music, but I just don't like it for my short film. I'm from Colombia, a country where cinema isn't really celebrated or respected in general. I don't know where to find a composer. I'm willing to pay, but the currency is so different between countries that it's a bit difficult. Anyway, I'll do it.

I've looked at my university, but everyone seems uninterested or they're not really what I'm looking for.

My friends have recommended using AI, but I hate it (F*CK AI).

My short film is exactly 3 minutes long. It's stop-motion, based on David Lynch and Tim Burton. It's not "the best short film ever made," but it's my first short, and that means a lot to me.

I'm looking for music in the style of "Italian lounge music from the 60s and 70s," like the soundtracks of old films, the compositions of Piero Piccioni and Stelvio Cipriani.

I'm also looking for spooky music, but not creepypasta music. I used the soundtrack from Possession (1981) for two of my scenes, but trying to license those two specific clips would bankrupt me (because I'm not even old enough to work yet).

What can I do? Where can I find someone?
