What is the best place to get professional feedback on Trailer cues? Do you guys have any recommendations? Could be paid or free, but preferably by someone with experience in the industry. I'm trying to get my productions to the next level, but the online communities where I posted my music before didn't give me that many points to work on. Thanks :)

As a father with a full-time day job and a full-time composer and sound designer by night, I know how challenging it can be to balance responsibilities, passions, and personal goals. Life moves fast, and sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day. But finding balance is one of the most important parts of building a successful and fulfilling career. Remember, success doesn’t always happen in giant leaps. Sometimes it’s built through small victories, late nights, early mornings, and consistent baby steps forward. Don’t stress too much about tomorrow — focus on what you can accomplish today. Every small step adds up over time. Keep pushing forward, stay patient with yourself, and never lose that creative spark. Stay creative, my friends. Together, we will get there!

I've been composing some themes and underscore to strengthen a screenwriter's pitch for an urban noir/horror tv series. He already has a producer who is interested and is planning to meet with him in person to pitch it. The hope is he'll also play one of my cues. The screenwriter really wants to work on this tv series in some capacity and is not interested in selling his script. I haven’t scored a tv series yet, so I'm thinking it would be a good idea to find a collaborator who has experience scoring tv series. From what I've heard, music isn't even considered at this early stage. It might help with the pitch, but my cues will probably be forgotten by the time they actually need music. Assuming that this project gets the green light, how can I attach myself to this project in these early days? Or will they likely go with their preferred composer no matter what?
