Welcome to the Filmmaking Through Music Podcast! Our goal with this podcast is to help filmmakers effectively use emotional and narratively aligned music to create more appealing films and videos, which will give you a better chance at festivals and reach a wider audience.

Episode 1: The 3 Must-Haves for Kicking Off Your Film Composer Relationship You just started working with a film composer? Don't talk about music yet!

We'll t cover these 3 crucial things when getting started in the director-composer journey:


  1. Story - Share your film's narrative and plot points. A composer needs to understand the story they're helping to tell musically.
  2. Vision - Explain your creative goals and the perception you want for your movie. How can the music support that vision?
  3. Tone & Mood - Discuss the vibe, emotions, and feelings you want to evoke. Show them your mood board and color palette!

The music convos will flow naturally once your composer grasps the story, tone, and vision.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
