This year’s Sundance Film Festival will feature the composer panel Power of Story: Measure for Measure. The event will be moderated by Chris Douridas (KCRW-FM’s daily music program Morning Becomes Eclectic) and will include such participants as Academy Award-nominated composer Mark Isham who co-scored the indie drama The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete with Alicia Keys. This marks the composer’s first time attending Sundance for a film he scored. As previously reported, he is also participating in the BMI composer/director roundtable with director George Tillman Jr. Other participants of the Power of Story: Measure for Measure panel include five-time Grammy Award winner and Golden Globe-nominated composer Terence Blanchard (The 25th Hour, Inside Man, Malcolm X) whose opera on boxing legend Emile Griffith premieres in June 2013, as well as Academy Award-winning composer Jan A. P. Kaczmarek (Finding Neverland, Unfaithful) who established the Transatlantyk Poznan International Film and Music Festival and the Instytut Rozbitek in his home country Poland, which is aimed at developing new talent in the arts. The event will take place on Friday, January 25, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre. For more information, visit the official Sundance webpage.
