We are announcing a contest for composers and/ or writers to write scripts and music for Mini Musical Short films. The Mini-Musical shall not be longer than 5 minutes with a minimum 2 original compositions and/ or songs showing different musical styles. The Topic of the contest is “Alone on Earth“ and the story shall take place between the years 1910 and 1970.
“Mini Musicals - Alone on earth“ is a contest for new short-musical-films arranged by Smofa - Skaraborgs Musical and Film Academy, Sweden.
This call is open to all writers and/or composers, no matter of age, gender, place of residence or amount of experience.
Covid-19 changed all our lives. Now as some countries go (back) to lock down. what shall we as artists do? We don’t know the universal answer but we would like to give you the chance to activate your artistic skills and encourage you to write/ compose a story about a time which lies in the past between 1910 and 1970, but keeping in mind all the things which have happened since.
"Alone on Earth" is a stimulating topic which will fire all of our imaginations. What does it mean to be alone? What happens on earth? Can we escape the earth? Is the earth the whole world or just the little bit an ant walks on? Does all live arise from earth, like a plant or is earth the thing we go to after death? Can one be alone in the society? Is one alone even when several people are in the room at the same time? Where is the person? Does something happen in the room during the time? Where is the person talking emotions? Did something happen before which informs the persons thoughts and feelings?
You can show a whole live in just 5 minutes…
And it’s up to you to choose what to show!
We are very happy that a diverse jury from all disciplines will work together with us. So far Ibinabo Jack, fillm and stage actress, Nate Gibson, q***r transgender designer, Malena Tuvung, singer and actress, and Kaisa Hammarlund, film, series and stage actress, are in the jury panel. The jury will decide about the winner in May 2021.
Deadline for all submissions is April 30th 2021. Please have a look on www.minimusicals.net for all required documents you have to send in.

Nancy Bloomer Deussen: American Hymn
My friend and great composer, Nancy Bloomer Deussen, wrote this amazing piece - American Hymn. I helped her make this video in 2009, using photos she and her husband, Gary had taken on trips around the US. I looked the video up last night, just to make sure it was still up on the web, and was surprised to find that the performance had been done by the Kiev Philharmonic. Nancy passed away in Nov. 2019 at the age of 88, and remained an active composer right till her last days. Those of you who knew her, PLEASE keep her memory alive.
