“A feast for the eyes and ears.”—Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
The music within a film can be a key element to help heighten the emotional impact of the story. Score: A Film Music Documentary convenes Hollywood's elite composers to share a privileged look inside the musical challenges and creative secrecy of the world's most beloved music genre: the film score.
A film composer is a musical alchemist of sorts, and the influence they have to complement a film and garner powerful reactions from global audiences can be a daunting task. The documentary contains interviews with dozens of film composers who discuss their craft and the magic of film music while exploring the making of the most iconic and beloved scores in history: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and dozens of others. 2017, U.S., DCP, 94 minutes. Recommended for all ages.
