THE BUZZ
APM Music has again produced the second year of its APM Film & TV Music
Podcast series for film and television music professionals. The series
consists of exclusive interviews with leaders in the music for film and TV
industry discussing significant business, technical, and creative trends.
The interviews were conducted at the The Hollywood Reporter & Billboard Film
& TV Music Conference, held in Beverly Hills in November 2007 and can be
downloaded from www.apmmusic.com/podcast.
The first episodes are available now and new episodes from the conference
will be released regularly throughout the Spring. They feature one-on-one
interviews with composers Sondre Lerche ("Dan In Real Life"), Harry
Gergson-Williams ("Shrek," "Shrek 2," "Kingdom of Heaven"), multiple Academy
Award-winner Alan Menken ("Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", "Beauty and the
Beast"), Glen Ballard ("Beowulf", "The Polar Express") Jan Kaczmarek
("Evening", "War and Peace"), Andrew Hollander ("Waitress", "Anything But
Love"), and the composing team of Paul Hepker and Mark Kilian, whose
collaborative credits include the Oscar-winning "Tsotsi" and "Into The
Light." Also featured in one-on-one interviews are executives Steve Schnur,

"The Billboard Film & TV Conference was excellent. The event was well organized, panel topics were thoughtful, and panelists were key industry players. The relaxed setup was conducive to a memorable discussion. Having gone to many conferences over the years, this one is a cut above."
-Jason Bentley
Music Supervisor, MACHINEHEAD
"I thought the conference was an amazing convergence of all the top visual music media players in the film and TV music business. Listening to top shelf directors like Clint Eastwood and Robert Rodriguez discuss their ability to score and direct films at the same time was inspirational. I look forward to participating this year."
