It can be easy to forget sometimes that film is a collaborative effort. It’s common to think of the director as the ‘author’ of a piece, which discounts the creative contributions of the editor, the cinematographer, even the actors or screenwriter.
With this in mind, for International Women’s Day, I’d like to take a look even further behind the camera than the director, writer, or cinematographer, and spend some time appreciating some lesser-known women in lesser-known roles: the women who make up the music department.
