Hitting the High Note: Film, Music, and the Creative Process

What makes a director/composer collaboration on a film successful? How do some of the leading directors and composers work together? What is their approach? How do they best communicate? What kind of concerns influence decisions about where to put music in a film? And what kind of music best suites a scene? This lively discussion with several of the most exciting director/composer pairs working today will focus on these and other questions concerning the role of music in independent film. This panel is sponsored by BMI and will be moderated by Doreen Ringer-Ross.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
