HMMA TESTIMONIALS

May 15, 2023

"I'm not sure you get to hear this as often as you should, but THANK YOU. The awards you've created mean a lot more than the event or the award itself: they have become an opportunity for people like me to cross paths with like-minded individuals, and have a shot at having a career or, as was my case, reinventing ourselves professionally".

~ Emilio D. Miler (Film & TV Composer) ~

“I came into this conference, not knowing much about placing music into TV/ movies. I’m glad to say that many of my questions were answered, and it was great to learn from the working professionals in the biz. The best part for me was in having a mentoring session with a music supervisor, John Houlihan. The professionals at this conference seemed more approachable than at others I’ve attended. Thanks for everything! Best wishes…”

“I thought your event was awesome, and what a great start! It was wonderful to see artists come from all over to see what it was all about and feel like they were being heard. The artists got to leave with a download of one-on-one information to move forward with their music. The “Hot Spot” is definitely at the HMMA and MIMICON.”
~ Mary Barret Gillum / Hummingbird Productions ~
“That was a great show u put on there!!! Glad to see there are folks like you spearheading events like HMM Awards”
~ Jorge Ameer – Director/Producer/Filmmaker ~
“The location was great. I could enjoy the conference during the day and enjoy hollywood during the night. During the conference I’ve never got bored, every session had very realistic and valuable information. It was very substantial experience. One-on-one mentor sessions were different from seminars. it was more interactive. I met great a music supervisor through a mentor session, he introduced me to another great music supervisor and another great music supervisor introduced me to a great composer…. the mentor session was the best part of the conference”.
~ Ji Yeon Lee / Composer ~
“MIMICon offer artists an opportunity to clearly understand what the film & television world is looking for from today’s music artists and the opportunity for them to meet face to face and talk about how they can work together.”
~ Tim Sweeney / Consultant ~
“Firstly, a huge thank you for all the blood, sweat, tears and effort it too for you to pull off this truly sensational musical event! It was worth every moment of the 17 hour direct flight from Dubai, it was 1000 times better than we anticipated! Paul and I had a remarkable experience and soaked up all the details put into the event and conference. Thank you sincerely for this amazing opportunity we will both live to cherish. The location was great especially since many of us were staying on the hotel premises. The Video recording option of each session was an excellent benefit especially since some panels discussions occurred at the same time.”
~ Amanda Lee Falkenberg – Film Music Composer / Paul Myer Hopkins – Film Music Composer ~
“I was happy to be part of your first conference! The best part for me was meeting the other delegates and networking with the panelists. My aim for this conference, as all conferences I attend, is to make new contacts and do business. At this stage I have new contacts and have done one deal already!”
~ Do It Management ~
“The location was perfect. I’ve been to many conferences in many areas of the country – you really hit a home run for a first conference. The strength was the panels. What a gift to those of us interested in getting “real-life” and accurate information … to be able to learn from the best in the industry … and then to be able to speak to them directly … it was an unbelievable opportunity.”
