What goes into building a soundtrack for a short film? And collaborating with a sound team when you’re dealing with a short time frame? And an even more limited budget? To help us answer those questions and more, Glenn moderates a panel discussion with some of the filmmakers from this year’s Aspen Shortsfest — which is, without question, one of the best film festivals in the world for short films and short filmmakers: - Madli Lääne, Director of “Dear Passengers” - Nikita Diakur, Director of “Backflip” - Luis Fernando Puente, Director of “I Have No Tears, and I Must Cry” This is a great discussion about the creative process of storytelling. And how that process translates into crafting a compelling soundtrack for a film… regardless of runtime!
