Spectra Presents Music Panels at 2023 Outfest
Outfest Los Angeles kicks off on July 13, 2023, and Spectra Creative Agency is very proud to be presenting two music panels during the festival, both moderated by our owner and creative agent Arbel Bedak! We hope these panels will facilitate important discussions around music's role in further this year's festival theme of "Future Without Fear".
"Queerness and Music In Media"
July 18 at 2:30pm at the London West Hotel
Panelists: Allyson Newman, Brittany Douziech, Sam Carlin, Mal Blum, and Michael Crepezzi
This panel will explore the ways various music professionals move and operate in the film and TV industry, from composers to supervisors and performers, as well as how they collaborate with a dynamic range of creatives, including filmmakers, producers, and editors. Additionally, the conversation takes an unfiltered look at the state of queerness in music, and its impact on contemporary culture.
Outfest Filmmaker Breakfast Series
"Composer Collaborations"
July 19 at 9:30am
Panelists: Stefan L. Smith, Amanda Yamate, Carla Patullo, and Emer Kinsella
This panel focuses on the intricate collaboration between composers and directors, with topics like how to communicate musical needs within a film, when and how to involve composers, and fostering creative collaborations that enhance the cinematic experience. With a spotlight on the unique perspectives and experiences of LGBT+ creatives, the panelists will share their expertise on how to navigate the dynamic relationship between music and film, forging meaningful connections with composers, and elevating your film's narrative through harmonious collaborations.
**This panel is open to Outfest filmmakers only and is not open to the public**
