Christmas Brief
PROJECT TITLE: Rekindled for Christmas GENRE: Romantic Comedy (Hallmark-style Christmas RomCom) STATUS: PreProduction / Music prep for future continuation Previous film SYNOPSIS: Courtney finds herself trapped in a web of her own making after pretending to have a boyfriend to please her mother. A year later, the lie has snowballed, she’s even told her mom they’re engaged. With Christmas approaching, she’s terrified the truth will come out, so she brings home a pretend boyfriend for the holidays… who just happens to be her sister’s ex. Things get even more complicated when Courtney runs into her true love. As family secrets, fake relationships, and old sparks collide, the holiday turns into a heartfelt, funny, and emotional journey about honesty, love, and second chances. TONE & MOOD: Wholesome, lighthearted, and heartfelt Full of Christmas warmth, charm, and humor Emotional but uplifting — perfect for a cozy holiday audience MUSIC DIRECTION: Looking for songs and cues that support a Hallmark-style Christmas RomCom, music that feels cinematic, warm, and sincere with just the right balance of romance and holiday spirit. Musical Themes to Capture: Romantic & Emotional Moments: Soft acoustic pop, gentle piano ballads, or cinematic indie with heartfelt vocals. Comedic or Playful Scenes: Light, quirky cues with pizzicato strings, ukulele, or festive percussion. Family & Holiday Atmosphere: Cozy Christmas textures — bells, soft strings, acoustic guitars, and warm harmonies. End Scene / Resolution: Hopeful, uplifting pop or orchestral builds that feel like “love wins” under the Christmas lights. Example Keywords: Heartfelt • Romantic • Playful • Nostalgic • Magical • Hopeful • Wholesome • Cinematic TIMELINE: I will start Music listening session planned on 26th, this is very early notice so everyone has time to prepare.

New fashion brief
Project Overview We’re connected with the company producing a new fashion campaign built around short, comic-style vignettes featuring two brand ambassadors. The content is dialogue-driven, playful, expressive, and personality-focused — more narrative storytelling than traditional fashion visuals. --- Music Direction The team is looking to replace “Supermodel (You Better Work)” by RuPaul with something fresh that captures the same bold, kitschy attitude. Vibe & Style Kitsch with a whimsical, stylish twist Playful, slightly exaggerated, with a wink of irony Confident, witty, approachable Fun, fashionable energy Supports the story and personalities — should NOT overpower the dialogue Lyrics Vocals optional Lyrics can reference fashion, fun, personality, sass, confidence, etc. Keep it light, clever, and attitude-driven --- Technical Requirements All submissions must include: High-quality master WAV + MP3 Instrumental A cappella Confirmed splits One-stop clearance with all collaborators No unauthorized samples No AI-generated music --- Representation & Terms All music pitched through Hit Record Academy will be represented by Joseph Lopez / Mr. Hit Record Productions as the sync agent. Representation is non-exclusive Joseph/Mr. Hit Record takes 30% NET of any sync fee secured No ownership, publishing share, or back-end will be taken from any songwriter or producer Submit links to mrhitsubmit@gmail.com Title email: Fashion Brief with your name
