Film composer and director Nicole Russin-McFarland joins The Film Scorer Podcast! But, Nicole didn’t come alone; joining her is voice actor Christopher Andrew Norris, a frequent collaborator of Nicole’s. We discuss their working relationship and process, spanning several dozen radio plays that the two have put together, and both of their future plans and aspirations. In addition, we cover topics like accessibility and discrimination issues in film and film music, the AWAL music program, UJAM’s virtual instruments, and the Stan Winston School for film effects and vfx (among many other things).
Much of Nicole’s music, including her many collaborations with Chris, are available digitally on all platforms. Find out more about Nicole on her website and Chris on his website.
This was only my third interview with multiple guests, but the first one where they both called in from different locations. A lot to handle, to be sure, but also a lot of fun! And I think the fun carries over into the interview itself.
