Lively and Insightful Discussion With Screen Composers

,

Thanks to everybody who attended the Collaborators Series with the Screen Composers Guild of NZ – A Relationship Guide on Tuesday May 19.

One of the biggest take aways from the evening was that often, both directors and composers want their relationship to start earlier in the process, and both parties can benefit from collaborating right at the start of a project. So directors, don’t be afraid to reach out to a composer in the ideas stage of your next project! The sooner the better.

An extra big thank you to our wonderful panelists, Bruce Lynch, Marshall Smith, Briar March and moderator Roseanne Liang, for bringing some great ideas, experiences, wisdom and entertainment to the table.

The Collaborators Series – A Relationship Guide will be available for members to view online in the near future.

Ash vs Evil Dead Attachments Announced

,

We are pleased to announce the three director attachments to the Ash vs Evil Dead (AVED) production. They are:

Regan Hall
Louise Leitch
Rene Naufahu

Each of the three will spend approximately 23 days shadowing one of the main unit directors through pre-production, shoot and post production.

Additionally, thanks to further NZFC and Starz Evil Dead NZ Ltd support, Roseanne Liang will spend 10 days with the AVED stunt coordinator, and Joe Lonie will shadow the second unit director for up to 20 days.

The attachments were hotly contested and we congratulate the successful directors on their selection for this incredible opportunity.
