Music, for most of us, it’s an integral part of our lives. Whether singing along to your favorite jams in your car; or comforting you in times of need. And for film, it’s no different. Film scoring is an integral part of the cinematic process—it’s the undertone that sets the mood and energy for both film and television. To get a good understanding of what goes into film scoring I only had to reach out to one person, the amazing Kathryn Bostic.
The award-winning composer and songwriter lends her talents to a number of films, television shows and theatrical productions over the years including the documentary Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am. Where she not only composed the score, but produced the original song – High Above the Water
I spoke with Kathryn recently via skype to understand her process, her inspirations, and her recent projects.
“Clemency” directed by Chinonye Chukwu and stars Afrie Woodard and Aldis Hodges is currently in theaters so check your local listings, and you can see “Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am” on Amazon Prime Video.
