Interview: Joe Kraemer

Award-winning composer Joe Kraemer joins us for an in-depth interview on his exciting career and the art of character-driven film scoring. You've heard Joe's remarkable work in such films as Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015), Jack Reacher (2012) and Way of the Gun (2000). His celebrated score to Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation won the IFMCA Award in 2015 for Best Original Score for an Action/Adventure/Thriller Film and in 2016 Kraemer was awarded the Discovery Of The Year at the World Soundtrack Awards. Recently, Joe was commissioned by the Dallas Chamber Symphony to write new music for F.W. Murnau's silent film classic Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. In addition to composing, he'll once again be a featured instructor at the Hollywood Music Workshop this summer in Vienna.  Joe has an infectious, enthusiastic personality and an expertise with film music that is both insightful and inspiring. Enjoy!
