Jeff Danna, Film Composer - Creative empathy is an important part of being a film composer

Film composer Jeff Danna: "Work on your craft and be a great composer. Be the best composer you can be, but equally important are your people skills and your ability to make people feel like you're understanding what they are telling you. That's incredible, that kind of creative empathy is really important for film composers, especially when they're starting a relationship with a filmmaker." Hear more about how Jeff started composing for film and the creative processes and teamwork that's involved in making a film. Jeff composed or co-composed scores for a wide range of films and television, including The Boondock Saints (1999), Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), Silent Hill (2006), The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), The Good Dinosaur (2015), Storks (2016), The Breadwinner (2017), The Addams Family (2019), Onward (2020), Guillermo Del Toro’s Tales of Arcadia (2019-2021) and most recently Nora Twomey’s My Father’s Dragon (2022) and Julia (2022).
