Listen as Michelle talks passionately about the importance of music for filmmakers, why she wants to be part of the film project from early in the filmmaking process and why the right music can make a huge impact on a film’s success.

Find out what happens when a filmmaker comes to a music supervisor with the music they want, or what happens when an artist turns down a music sync request. And why that is more likely to happen in advertising or with football films!

Listen to them both talk about some of the difficulties they’ve encountered in their roles, as well as some of the best parts of being a music supervisor. Plus, they remind us about the importance of metadata and what happens when you don’t include it.

Why does Michelle love working with composer and producer Marius De Vries? (no relation!) What’s it like to be freelance in the music industry and how do they create a work & life balance in such a stressful role and business? And that’s just to start!

Stay tuned for music from our sync session including Belle Wilder, The Aftershox and Izzy Spring.
