How do great filmmakers make audiences feel something?

Music is one of the most powerful tools in screen storytelling, yet it's often one of the least understood.

Join Screen Music & Sound Guild of New Zealand in Ōtautahi for an industry talk with award-winning composer and music editor William Philipson, whose credits include more than 400 episodes of Shortland Street. William will share insights into how music shapes emotion, strengthens storytelling and helps audiences connect with what they see on screen.

Whether you're a director, producer, writer, editor, composer, student or screen creative, this conversation will offer practical insights into creative collaboration and the role music plays in bringing stories to life.

📍 UC Dovedale Campus, Ōtautahi
