  • Insightful

    Very informative and insightful! The interviews and all access talks are great, much better than the score reviews on the website which basically are: if the composer has been interviewed by FMM then there literally won’t be a single negative comment about whatever score is being reviewed. BUT.. I would be the same way lol.. I listen to these all the time so keep up the good work!! :)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jessica Rose Weiss | Composer: Girls Like Girls
Q: How did the budget constraints influence your process and creative choices on Girls Like Girls?
Budget limitations pushed them toward innovative songwriting and collaboration, including producing and co-writing songs, and leveraging a few needle drops strategically, which ultimately kept the tone cohesive and authentic.
Jessica Rose Weiss | Composer: Girls Like Girls
Q: What was it like collaborating with a director who is musically inclined, such as Haley Kyoko?
It was ideal because Haley could actively participate in shaping scenes; she could react to piano arrangements and give direct feedback, making the process feel like working with a music producer and accelerating the workflow.
Jessica Rose Weiss | Composer: Girls Like Girls
Q: Where does the first note typically come from for you when you're scoring a project?
She prefers to read the script first to gather information and spark imagination, but also values the guidance gained after seeing the first cut to confirm what musical ideas will work within the visuals.
John Powell | Composer: Minions & Monsters
Q: How did writing to picture for a live-action vs animation influence your approach to tempo and beats in the Minions films?
I approached it by aligning with the physicality of movement and the timing of gags, using tempo to propel jokes and then letting the music breathe during more emotional moments, always honoring the Minions' character-driven humor.
John Powell | Composer: Minions & Monsters
Q: And what I love about the Minions is that they're like the essential kind of modern take on just what a cartoon is, what appealed to you musically to jump into this world?
The idea was to make the score feel like it came from the Minion world itself, set across a broad era from 1890s to 1940s; I aimed for a wacky, over-the-top but emotionally honest score that could navigate both slapstick and sentiment, while echoing classic Hollywood textures.
