We talk about how she got started with music, how she approaches a score, some best practices for directors working with a composer, and her work on Keaton Fuller's "Friendly Faces" series. Jillian is so passionate and knowledgeable, and it was really great to have this conversation with her. I think everyone will leave understanding film composition and score a bit more.
