The FMG Conference 2009

The FMG Conference 2009 is an innovative project intended to bring students from LA’s finest film and music schools together for an intensive one-day conference to learn from top industry professionals, and is the only conference specifically designed to bring together student filmmakers and student composers now to network with one another and dialogue about their art.

More importantly, the conference is intended to spark conversation on a deeper level about story-telling and collective creativity. The power of a group of excellent artists committed to true, collaborative art-making is immense and under-realized.

Workshops will also include practical knowledge about the working relationship between filmmakers and composers, the process of using music in film, the business of film music, and the current events and issues in the film music world.

Our vision is to make the conference an annual event, building credibility with excellent panelists and lecturers and turning out alumni that understand not only how to tell better stories with music, but how to tell better stories overall.
