Scoring for Hollywood Films with Adam Lukas and James Everingham

Sound Business with Akash Thakkar

#53: Today's guests are Adam Lukas and James Everingham, composers based out of Los Angeles and working in Hans Zimmer's collective known as Bleeding Fingers Music. Adam and James have worked on tons of film and TV projects over their careers and have recently written music for the document Frozen Planet II, alongside Hans Zimmer.

In this episode we talk about how there's quite a lot of opportunity for film composers and how you have to be willing to look for it and why these composers decided to work within a composers' collective. We also talk about working on insanely short timelines in Hollywood, what to do if you're not working in Los Angeles, and so much more.
