The Angel (Boiler Room, Kidulthood) joins The Film Scorer! Angel’s latest score is for the crime thriller Heist 88, which came out last year but her score only released last month. As such, we spend much of our conversation talking […]
In the latest episode of The Film Scorer podcast I’m joined by Wilbert Roget, II (Star Wars: Outlaws, Helldivers 2, Mortal Kombat). While Wilbert is best known for his work scoring video games, including recently receiving a Grammy nomination for […]
