When used correctly, music can add emphasis and depth to a scene; it's a partnership that has endured since the earliest days of film. On Wednesday, June 27, the Austin Film Society and the Austin Music Foundation co-hosted an event on the intersection. The "Music in Film in Music" panel addressed the common question, "How do I get music in film?"
Held at SoundCheck Austin at Austin Studios in a room full of musicians and filmmakers, the experience launched with a panel discussion that included musician Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma, filmmaker Andrew Shapter (who served as moderator and flawlessly kept the discussion active), music supervisor Dominique Preyer and sound supervisor/mixer Tom Hammond.
Once the discussion kicked off, the audience focused on absorbing the essential ingredients required in the creative process of incorporating music in film. Shapter presented the audience with an example of how costly and...

AUSTIN -- Audiences eager to light up the joint with a viewing of the upcoming marijuana-themed documentary "Super High Me" will be able to do so in the privacy of their own living rooms.
Screen Media Films, which will distribute the film theatrically, made the announcement during a Studio SX interview panel at South by Southwest here.
Fans can register at the film's Web site to "roll" their own screenings by requesting a free DVD copy of the film, which will be sent out on the film's theatrical start date of April 20. Once in receipt of the disc, the requester is expected to hold a private screening in a location of their choosing. The only requirement is that they not charge for the screening.
"It can be difficult to get stoners off the couch," said Suzanne Blech, senior vp sales and acquisitions at Screen Media Films. "The number of people who get stoned in America is quite a large percentage, and all we want for them is to tell their friends that they have to see this funny, funny movie."
Blech said that the idea came about after she spoke with marketers at B-Side Entertainment, who had done a similar promotion with 2006's "Before the Music Dies".
"When they told me that they'd had 300 screenings in 270 markets with an average of 120 people at each, all done at a very low cost, I was intrigued about getting word-of-mouth screenings to such a large amount of people," she said.
