EPISODE 106 - CARTER BURWELL - Composer

Team Deakins speaks with composer Carter Burwell in this episode. Carter is known for his work on NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, CAROL, and WONDERSTRUCK. We talk in-depth about the experience of working with the Coen Brothers which is where he started his career in composing for film. Working with the Coens is a good challenge because they don\u2019t repeat themselves so it\u2019s new territory every time. He also shares about working with Sidney Lumet on Before the Devil Knows You\u2019re Dead which was a unique experience. We learn how the composer can be asked to help save a scene that isn\u2019t working with the score and how you can do that. We learn a lot about the craft of composing in this episode!
