Membership

Why you should join SMSG

First and foremost because as a group with a big agenda, our voice is heard by those who influence the industry. Try being an agent of change as an individual – it’s hard and lonely! 

As a group we create momentum and more quickly reach a tipping point where change is possible.

As a group we have more financial resources to provide resources and support.

As a formal entity we have access to government funding.

As a group we are able to create a community of like minded people.

But we can’t achieve any of this if we aren’t a stable and effective group and to be that, we need composers, music supervisors and sound professionals like you.

Membership is not all about taking. It’s about giving and the first step to giving is joining up so you can access all those things that a great guild offers.

So, please, join us and be part of that change to help us make this industry better for all our members.
