The SCL Mentor Program serves as an introduction to the screen music industry for selected SCL Associate members. The SCL LA Mentor Committee has made its final selections from over 100 applicants, and would like to thank the many applicants who took the time to submit and encourages them to do so again in the future, should they remain eligible.
The program runs from October 2026 through April 2027, with a break for the holidays.
The mentors are thoroughly looking forward to sharing their experience and expertise with the SCL LA Mentee Class of 2026-2027.
Congratulations to all!
