A Conversation with Harry Gregson-Williams

Описание: Harry Gregson-Williams joins the New American Filmmakers program as an inaugural featured filmmaker for the 2013 Hawaii International Film Festival. Here, Harry sits down with the Vilcek Foundation to discuss his most recent role composing for MR. PIP and his path and process toward composing other films.

One of Hollywood's most sought-after composers, Harry Gregson-Williams worked on all four installments of the SHREK franchise; garnered a BAFTA nomination for the score for the first SHREK; and received Golden Globe and Grammy Award nominations for his score to THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. His long list of film credits also includes critically acclaimed THE TOWN as well as Oscar-nominated GONE BABY GONE, both collaborations with director Ben Affleck. The longtime L.A. resident was born in England and attended London's prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama. Harry's most recent project is Andrew Adamson's MR. PIP.

MR. PIP
Adapted by Andrew Adamson from the best-selling novel by Lloyd Jones, MR. PIP is the story of how Mr. Watts, a teacher on the war-torn island of Bougainville, helps a young girl survive the violence of her daily life through the power of imagination. Mr. Watts reads from his favorite book, Great Expectations, and 14-year-old Matilda is transported into the Victorian world, finding inspiration, friendship and hope when her real life is filled with harsh uncertainty and danger.
