Filmmaking is storytelling, and music can bring your story to the next level. Jason Rivera has been writing and making music since he was four years old. In episode 149, Jason is going to share valuable insights into his world of music from the perspective of a storyteller.
We have a fascinating discussion about the importance of film directors to work think about the film score and bring a good music composer into the process before the film is in production.
