EP 56 | Dan Romer, Composer (Pixar's 'Luca', 'Beasts of the Southern Wild')

Soundstage Access

It was awesome to welcome on the show Dan Romer, a Emmy award-nominated composer whose film and TV credits include Netflix's MANIAC, and the Oscar-nominated movies BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD and Pixar’s Luca. In today’s conversation, Dan and I discuss his beginnings as a record producer, later transitioning into film composing. The reasons why, following his work on BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, he encountered resistance from the industry — and deep-dive into Dan’s creative approach to scoring the Oscar-nominated Pixar film LUCA, set in the Italian riviera of the 1950's. All of this… and much more! Thank you to White Bear PR for setting this conversation up. Dan’s latest shows include a new season of THE GOOD DOCTOR, currently streaming on Hulu, as well as LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, now on Showtime.
