When you put hard work into a resume, demo reel, audition, catered and specifically created for one position on the film you applied for, it feels like an eternity before they say you have the position or not. While I wait for the answer, I research about the film, I basically get all the knowledge I can before they accept and say "You have 4 weeks to write 60 minutes of music:". I basically get a head start. When I was talking about risk taking, this is one of those risks. If I get a head start, and the say no, then I wasted my time. Not entirely though. I can save any music I made and release it online, save it as a cue that can possibly be used later, and use it for a pitch for a new movie if it fit the specification. While you wait for an answer, complete the busy work that you can only do on your free time. Reach out to people, create new connections.
