I had a great time joining my colleagues for a panel on “Sync & Storytelling: How Music Finds Its Way Into TV & Film.”
Moderated by Sony Pictures Television’s own Marie Jacobson (thank you, Marie!), the discussion centered on a case study of the music behind SPT’s critically acclaimed Netflix series, BOOTS. I was joined by the show’s Music Supervisor, Sarah Bromberg, and Composer, Jongnic Bontemps, as we explored how music—when thoughtfully executed—becomes an essential driver of storytelling.
A big thank you to the University of Michigan’s Michigan Music Business Club for including us in their conference and for putting together such an impressive slate of programming. Kudos to all!
