During Film Fest Gent's WSA Intimate Conversations, a small group of participants will engage with experienced composers who will share their views on the art of film, television and games scoring.
Behind award-winning scores and platinum albums lie personal stories, goals and beliefs. What is the value of music in a profoundly changing film industry? How do you develop an authentic artistic fingerprint? What intermediate milestones can help to develop your talent? Starting from his own experiences, Anthony Willis initiates an intimate dialogue that touches upon a variety of themes, as broad as the scoring industry itself. Based on the interests and questions of the participants, the conversation flows organically from one topic to the next.
Anthony Willis is a two-time BAFTA-nominated composer, known for his evocative scores for Emerald Fennel’s Oscar’s winning Promising Young Woman, Blumhouse’s Ai hit M3gan, and Fennell’s psychological thriller Saltburn. He was named one of Variety’s Top 10 Artisans to Watch in 2023 at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival.
