September 23, 2009 Champagne flutes clinked on September 17 in celebration of the first session of the BMI-sponsored Composing for the Screen 2009: A Film Scoring Mentorship Program, which was held at BMI’s New York office. The program selects a small number of emerging film composers and provides a series of workshops, followed by year-round continued consultation and development. Pictured are (back row) BMI’s Linda Livingston, Gervasio Goris, Neil Shah, John Celentano, BMI’s Doreen Ringer-Ross, David Maurice, Stephen Frost and BMI’s Ray Yee; (front row) Shyam Vai, Kerry Mussey, composer Rick Baitz, Patrick Sasso and Ela Orleans.
