## Resource

Every unmade film deserves a score. Here's how ours got one. From the backlot of the show, musician Joe McGinty takes us behind the scenes on how he composed the theme music for Films Not Made! From groovy Conn Electric Band drum beats, to Moog boogie bass lines, to ARP arpeggios, Musonics Vanilla melody, and more. Have listen and enjoy! https://www.joemcgintymusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/joemcginty7/ https://sidgolds.com/
