Go behind the scenes to learn from Sundance Advisors in our Conversations from the Sundance Labs series. This collection of videos will deepen your understanding of all the creative disciplines that are supported through our Labs.
Music and sound are an integral part of how documentary filmmakers create a sense of discovery for audiences experiencing their films. In this discussion, Director Thomas Allen Harris (THROUGH A LENS DARKLY, FAMILY PICTURES USA) and Composer Miriam Cutler (RBG, THE HUNTING GROUND) discuss the partnership between composers and filmmakers, how to develop a creative workflow, using music to build the emotional arc of the story and embracing the changes in a project as it continues to evolve. This conversation is moderated by Peter Golub, Director of Film Music at Sundance Institute.
