MIRIAM CUTLER: One of the most renowned documentary composers in the business today, Miriam has scored such doc hits as Lost in La Mancha, Ghosts of Abu Ghraib, and Thin. Her newest film which she also co-produced, One Lucky Elephant, is premiering at the LA Film Fest in June. Miriam is talented, amiable, forthright and highly experienced and provided us all with essential information about how to successfully find and collaborate with the right composer for your film. JAMES WESLEY STEMPLE: Jim is a truly gifted and versatile artist, with whom we've had the great pleasure of collaborating on our film Shakespeare Behind Bars. He has extensive experience in feature films, documentaries, television and live performance and is well versed in a wide range of styles. He feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to move comfortably between recording live acoustic ensembles and cutting edge digital technology and sound generation. Always one to go the extra distance for excellence, on his latest film, Walt and El Grupo, he traveled extensively in South America, absorbing the flavors of the culture and music and infusing those into the score. For this Symposium, James dialogued with filmmaker Ted Thomas, director of Walt and El Grupo in a case study about the collaborative process between filmmaker and composer. TED THOMAS: Ted was the Director/Writer of Walt and El Grupo (Kuniko Okubo produced). Working with Jim Stemple, he guided the score for Walt and El Grupo which embodies musical styles from Brazil, Argentina, the Andes and vintage American Swing. The original soundtrack was recorded in several locations with 35 musicians. BROOKE WENTZ: Brooke is an award-winning music supervisor and seasoned intellectual property rights executive with more than 20 years experience working in the television, cable, film and recording industries. She has a diverse and extensive list of credits, including work in television (ESPN, HBO, Discovery) and film (The Devil and Daniel Johnston, American Hardcore, Ballets Russes, and Academy Awards®-nominated documentary The Weather Underground). Brooke is also the author of the book "Hey, That's My Music: Music Supervision, Licensing and Content Acquisition", a guide to music licensing and copyright issues.

So many expensive mistakes can be made when choosing, licensing or just plain "borrowing" music for your documentary. Simple errors and misjudgments can cost you thousands. This is one area where you really want to know the score before you dive in. PURCHASE A PASS for all you'll ever need to know about Documentary Music!
