Comments on: COMPOSER MEETING COMMENTS / FMM ARTICLE / RMA MEETING COMMENTS / ASMAC HOLIDAY PARTY / COMMENTS / EVENTS http://www.responsible47.com/?p=204 An open and anonymous forum for discussing Local 47 and AFM issues Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:31:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Anonymous http://www.responsible47.com/?p=204#comment-279 Anonymous Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:14:14 +0000 http://www.responsible47.com/?p=204#comment-279 The meeting at the Local to explain the new AFM motion picture contract was attended by less than 60 people. This shows either extreme apathy or a complete lack of interest in the contract. After a long and complicated explanation there was a confusing series of statements and questions from 2 attendees, one of whom used to work on a lot of recording jobs until replaced by other musicians, the other who has never done much work under this contract. They wanted to talk about "bringing the jobs back". I guess that means they want all film composers to be American (OOPS, bad news for Alexander Desplat, Gabriel Yared, John Powell, Rachel Portman, Harry Gregson Williams, Hans Zimmer, George Fenton and others). or perhaps they have found a way around the many government post production tax credits in other countries or other states. Maybe they can get Hollywood to get creative in using music and start doing scores like they did in the "good old days". Even Mr Fernandez goes to the UK to record. His latest CD, promoted here, was recorded with a symphony orchestra in London. The meeting at the Local to explain the new AFM motion picture contract was attended by less than 60 people.
