ComposersLab: L.A.

Presented by Sundance Institute's Film Music Program  

On May 12, 2012, in Los Angeles, California, the Film Music Program will host ComposersLab: LA

The Film Music Program connects composers and directors, giving them firsthand experience of the collaborative process of creating music in film. Since 1998, the Film Music Program has held a summer Lab at the Sundance Resort in Utah for a selected group of film composers. The ComposersLab: L.A. will be a condensed version of the summer Composers Lab, with the goal of offering a new opportunity for aspiring and seasoned film composers to gain insight into the development of film music.

This program is supported by a grant from The James Irvine Foundation.

This year's Creative Advisors include: Blake Neely (The Mentalist, The Pacific, Political Animals, Brothers & Sisters), Cliff Martinez (Drive, Contagion, Sex, Lies, and Videotape), Thomas Newman (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, The Help, The Adjustment Bureau), John Powell (Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, Hancock), and Alex Wurman (March of the Penguins, Talladega Nights, Anchorman, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind); Robert Messinger (Agent, First Artists),  Adam Smalley and Scott Johnson (Music Editors, The Gangster Squad, The Town, Twilight, How to Train Your Dragon, The Blind Side), and Doreen Ringer Ross (VP Film and TV Music, BMI)
