Directed by Ryan Glover, and written by Glover and Krista Dzialoszynski, The Strings is a work of pure atmosphere and mood. In the deep of winter, a lone musician heads off to a cabin to work on new material; while […]
To keep 2022 off to a strong start, the great composer Marcelo Zarvos joins me for a quick chat! Marcelo recently scored the newly released film A Journal for Jordan, directed by Denzel Washington and starring Michael B. Jordan. We […]
I often see people complain that there have been few, if any, good scores released in 2021. While there may have been a few slower months, October continues the trend of nearly endless good scores. There were almost too many […]
Growing up, very few things were constant for me. Mac & Cheese and Dr. Pepper would forever be the best, MTV played some great videos, and from October of 1988 through March of 1990, my Saturday evenings would be terrifying, […]
To kick-off the new year, Catherine Joy joins The Film Scorer Podcast! We discuss a number of her projects, as well as (among other things) the Joy Music House, her work with the Alliance for Women Film Composers, and the […]

Back in 2020, Tom Schraeder made some waves (and certainly caught my attention) when he scored the horror film The Dark and the Wicked. Now, one of the film’s producers (writer-director Sonny Mallhi) has brought Tom back, as well as […]
The one and only Mark Korven joins me on The Film Scorer Podcast! Mark is probably best known for scoring films like The Witch and The Lighthouse, but his latest score is for Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. We […]
