A few years back I recorded my first big orchestral score for a feature film, around 40 minutes of music with a 70 piece orchestra. Director was blown away, I was over the moon. The string players actually did that thing at the end where they tap their bows on their instruments as a polite applause. The film went to a festival in New York. American company picked it up, proceeded to remix the whole film. Most of my cues were stripped back to just basses and Celli drones. The distributor felt it was "too emotional and led the audience too much" haaaa. Awesome seeing 4 months of my life go up in smoke. I was near suicidal at the time, so I feel and know the pain. I still can't really be f&^*%d with films anymore.
