Join award winning composer Ian Foster for an interactive workshop on scoring for film. The workshop will discuss working with directors to achieve their vision, how to approach a scene musically, how music fits into the post-production process, the basics of contracts and expectations when hiring a composer, and more! This workshop is open to all, but directors, producers and beginner composers are especially encouraged.
