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 their own experiences, Maclaine Diemer initiates an intimate dialogue that touches up 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.

Maclaine Diemer is a Los Angeles based composer for interactive and traditional media, best known for critically acclaimed score for games like Guild Wars 2, Firmament and Crucible.
