Indiana Jones Fans

For all you Indiana Jones fans, and film score fans, I am seeking donations to help with the recording of the score for Treasure of the Templars, the upcoming feature-length Indiana Jones Fan Film and exciting new prequel to the Raiders of the Lost Ark. The film is a labor of love from dedicated Indy fans, and will be released around the end of May, after Indiana Jones 4 comes out.

As a composer, writing in the style of John Williams is both an honor and a dream come true. I remember the Last Crusade as one of my earliest experiences of seeing a movie on the big screen in a theater; Williams’ bold and iconic theme was etched into my memory. I am hard at work at composing an original score with my own new themes in the stylistic vein of John Williams’ original Indiana Jones scores. Here’s my new love theme to wet your appetite.

We’re seeking to raise some funds to hire a few live musicians to record the score.  Indy would be deeply grateful for your support (he deserves to have his epic adventures accompanied by the lush and exhilarating sound of real musicians, and not some cheesy synthesizer)!

100% of donations will go towards recording studio expenses and hiring live musicians. And in addition to supporting struggling musicians, you can get your hands on some exclusive albums:

*Donate $20 or more and receive a Limited-Edition promo CD of my recent score to the film Sailfish, a sports drama which opens theatrically in China this summer during the Beijing Olympics. It features over an hour of a romantic themes and rousing competition music.

*Donate $50 or more and receive the Sailfish promo CD and a compilation CD of some of my own favorite pieces from various film scores that I’ve written.

*Donate $100 or more and receive a Sailfish promo CD, a compilation CD of my work, and an autographed CD of the final Treasure of the Templars score along with a thank you and your name printed in the CD liner notes.

Submit your donation via Paypal (send to george@georgeshawmusic.com or maestrosc@gmail.com)

Many thanks for reading this far, and a special thank you to anyone who donates.
