We’re opening up the first Brief Room session. This one is focused on trailer music. Wednesday, April 15th @ 7pm - 8:30pm (Link coming soon) This is where your ability to read direction, respond to it, and deliver with intent gets tested in real time. We listen together, break it down, and react through one lens: Does it serve the brief, while still making it yours. GUEST HOST We’re welcoming our first guest host, trailer composer @Brandon Lau whose work includes Scream, Destiny 2, and Arcane, along with campaigns for titles like League of Legends and Call of Duty. He’ll be running the session alongside PTN's @Nate Michalic and @Gilde Flores , listening, giving feedback, and breaking down what’s working, what’s not, and how to push it further. This is direct insight from someone actively creating at a high level in this space. WHAT WE’RE LISTENING FOR StructureHooksExecution within the genre If it hits, we elevate it.If it misses, we fix it. If you’re into trailer music, or want to sharpen your approach, this is where you do it. Submit your work. Show up. Be in the room. You don’t know where this leads. INSTRUCTIONS TO DOWNLOAD + STEP IN Download the attached briefs. Pick your lane and commit. This is where you read direction, respond, and deliver. NO REFERENCES PROVIDED Part of this process is learning how to find your own direction. In the real world, some briefs come with references, and some don’t. This is one of those moments where you get to develop that skill. If you need guidance, take the time to explore what fits. Listen, study, and understand why something works. If you already have a clear instinct, trust it and build from there. Either way, the goal is the same, create something that serves the brief with intention. Have at it!!!!
