In episode eight of Film Music Friday, we hear from my friend Eli, a filmmaker studying at the University of Toronto. We chat about some film scores, film music as a concept, and listen to some of our respective work from Eli's 2018 short film A Deaf Man's Symphony and his upcoming short film I'm Still Here. Listen right to the end to find out why Eli and I may have squandered a potential Netflix deal!
