Academy Award®-nominated composer Kris Bowers joins guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss his stunning orchestral score for "The Wild Robot," directed by Chris Sanders. The composer dives deep into how he crafted the film's sonic landscape, incorporating orchestral textures, electronic elements, and unique percussive sounds. He also shares insights into his collaboration with director Chris Sanders and how becoming a parent influenced his emotional approach to crafting the film's original score.“Chris [Sanders] talked about the role that music was going to need to play in this film... He already knew there were going to be these long stretches where we would have little to no dialogue. And he was trusting that music could help tell the story in those moments… Because for him, the idea of kindness as a survival technique, that was very, very key to the story... Really this idea of music needing to have this vulnerability, this warmth, clear melodic statements, and then also having the ability to go from small intimate moments to really big, huge action sequences.”—Kris Bowers, Composer, "The Wild Robot"Be sure to check out “The Wild Robot,” now available to stream and on Blu-ray, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.The soundtrack to “The Wild Robot” by Kris Bowers is also available to stream on Apple Music in Dolby Atmos!And don't miss our previous episode on the sound of “The Wild Robot,” with writer and director Chris Sanders.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

On this episode, I spoke to the composer and sound team about their work on The Wild Robot, which includes Kris Bowers, Brian Chumney, Leff Lefferts, Gary A. Rizzo & Randy Thom. All five of these artisans were nominated at the 2025 Academy Awards.  From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown's beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot.  The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.  The Wild Robot stars Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong'o (Us, The Black Panther franchise) as robot Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as fox Fink; Emmy winner Catherine O'Hara (Schitt's Creek, Best in Show) as opossum Pinktail; Oscar® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) as goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) as gosling Brightbill and Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, this summer's The Fall Guy) as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz's life on the island.

Oscar-winning filmmaker (The Last Repair Shop) and Emmy-winning composer Kris Bowers details a series of life experiences that propelled him to a groundbreaking score on his first animated film, The Wild Robot. How his parents' nudge into music led to him developing a “life plan” he still employs today. Why his jazz origins are so useful in the way he approaches film music. Plus, how new emotions (unlocked from recently becoming a father himself) impacted his approach to the themes of The Wild Robot. Kris dives into how he discovered a sound and music palette to channels a vibrant “wilderness” alongside an orchestral approach (with a futurist vibe), and his fond memories of working with both Kobe Bryant and Quincy Jones who influenced and inspired his creative energy to new projects.

Make-up brushes at the ready, Rae. We should like to try something a little different tonight. Join us as we welcome Erika Ökvist for a discussion of her exquisite work as Hair and Make Up Designer of Bridgerton Season 3. As Erika reveals her journey from aspiring princess to an Emmy award-winning designer, we'll be slipping on the banana peel of creativity to explore the importance of artistic experimentation, storytelling through details and why inspiration can be found in the most unlikely of places. Erika will be taking us through the day in the life of a busy Bridgerton set, tackling tattoos, heatwaves and the deadliest sin of them all: gossiping. Elsewhere, we'll be visiting Featherington House to discover the secrets of a Mayfair starlet and why true love really is the silk lining in our very own woollen coats. And as the Season 3 winds blow our favourite traveller ashore, we'll be swooning over pirate coats, sea swept waves and one very tousled emotional support curl. After all: Colin Bridgerton, your eyebrows are the most remarkable shape of seagull wings. * Follow Erika on Instagram: @erika_okvist_makeup_designer Show Notes: Crumbs Russh: Interview with Yerin Ha W Magazine: Interview with Jonathan Bailey Elle Italia: Interview with Jonathan Bailey Entertainment Weekly: Feature on ‘Jurassic World Rebirth' People: Interview with Simone Ashley Sky: The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland Radio Times: Interview with Nicola Coughlan Pink News: Interview with Jessica Madsen YouTube: Shondaland Behind-the-Scenes IG: Bridgerton nominated at Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards IG: Bridgerton nominated at Costume Designers Guild Awards Netflix: Bridgerton FYC Deadline: Interview with Kris Bowers for ‘The Wild Robot' Bath & Body Works: Bridgerton Candle – Colin's Return Funko!

Awards season has arrived in the form of the Golden Globes nominations. The awards, which honor both movies and television programs, is often viewed as a preview of the upcoming Oscars. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz go over the list, focusing largely on the movies, which tend to shine brightest at the ceremony. But they also take time to review a few of the TV shows, including the great, but rarely funny "The Bear," which is again in the comedy or musical category. We also have an interview with "Nickel Boys" director RaMell Ross, who spoke with Miller prior to the film receiving a nomination for best drama.

"Robot Salvaje" (2024), música de Kris Bowers.

Season 5 of The Film Scorer Podcast continues to pick up steam as Kris Bowers (Bridgerton, Green Book) joins the show! The Academy Award winner and nominee (who was just nominated for a Grammy for his score to The Color Purple a few days ago) recently scored the hit animated film The Wild Robot. As such, Kris and I spend much of our conversation talking about his score, which is both adventurous and a tearjerker, and filled with thematic exploration. The conversation touches on the challenges of scoring for animation, the increasing amount of space the film made for Kris's score, how it let Kris run wild with his passion for thematic and melodic scoring (drawing a number of Star Wars parallels), and plenty more. Kris's score, and much of his other music, is available on all major platforms. The Wild Robot is currently in theaters, with a home release imminent. You can find out more about Kris on his website.

Min 5. EL FILTRO LUCHINI A la espera del estreno de la ganadora de Cannes (“Anora”) o de los regresos de Rodrigo Cortés (“Escape”) y de Clint Eastwood (“Jurado nº 2”) las salas de cine nos ofrecen una auténtica cascada de estrenos que pasamos por el Filtro de Estamos de Cine. Min 6: VENOM: El último e inevitable baile Marvel pone fin a la saga “Venom” en un desigual desenlace con el que han intentado arañar un último éxito vinculado al mundo de los superhéroes y los villanos que pueblan su universo. Kelly Marcel intenta sin éxito coronar la trilogía centrada en esta suerte de némesis dual de Spiderman. Calificación EDC: 2 estrellas Min 10: RITA: el emotivo debut de Paz Vega La experimentada actriz española debuta como directora en una película que se nutre de sus recuerdos de adolescencia en su tierra natal y que cuenta la historia de una familia y de una niña que afronta el drama doméstico que la rodea agarrándose a la capacidad de soñar que le ha inculcado su madre. Calificación EDC: 3 estrellas. Min 16: EL LLANTO, terror a la española Nuestros críticos también valoran el meritorio debú en la dirección de Pedro Martín-Calero, que se atreven con una historia de terror protagonizada por Esther Expósito y Mathilde Olivier. La doble temperatura de su propuesta desdibuja una historia que podría haber alcanzado el notable. Min 20: LA GRAN ESCAPADA: Adiós Mr. Caine La producción británica “La Gran Escapada”, que remueve la nostalgia de los veteranos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se convierte en una de las favorotas de la semana por su carga emotiva y por suponer el último trabajo como actor del gran Michael Caine. Calificación EDC: 3 estrellas Min 25: “Daaaaaalí”: la loca sorpresa de la semana Pero el estreno que ha dado en la diana para Alberto Luchini y para Raquel Hernández es francés y rinde tributo al talento surrealista de Salvador Dalí. Quentin Dupieux vuelve a sorprender con un enfoque original en el que recurre a seis actores diferentes para encarnar al pintor catalán, que vuelve loca a una joven documentalista que ve la posibilidad de rodar la mejor aproximación a su figura. Calificación EDC: 4 estrellas Min 31: REAGAN: el despropósito del año El polémico y patriótico biopic sobre el no menos contrrovertido ex presidente y actor norteamericano se convierte en uno de los grandes borrones de Hollywood este año. El incomprensible protagonismo de Dennis Quaid y la maniquea dirección de Sean McNamara condenan a “Reagan” a la peor de nuestras calificaciones. Calificación EDC: 0 estrellas Min 38: Las claves del Festival CIBRA 2024 El Festival del Cine y la Palabra de Toledo (CIBRA) llega a su 16ª edición y se sienta con nosotros su director, Gabriel Castaño. Avanzamos lo más destacado de un festival que, del 25 de octubre al 9 de noviembre, volverá a fusionar cine y literatura, acercando a Toledo a primeras figuras de la cultura de nuestro país. Como ya hicimos en Abycine, aprovechamos el cara a cara con el director de CIBRA para descubrir cuál es la película de su vida. Min 52: ESPECIAL BSO ROBOT SALVAJE Ya dijimos hace dos semanas que ROBOT SALVAJE no es sólo una de las mejores pelis animadas de los últimos años, sino que no sería extraño ver que se cuela en la categoría estrella para dar la sorpresa en los Oscar 2025. Pero lo que hoy nos toca es escuchar a Ángel Luque defender porqué los temas compuestos por Kris Bowers tienen mucho que ver con la magia y el gran resultado final de la película de Chris Sanders.

Min 4: EDC EN ABYCINE 2024 Estamos de Cine se mantiene fiel a su cita con uno de los festivales de referencia en toda España. Abycine celebra su 26ª edición y para hablarnos de lo conseguido, de las novedades, preestrenos y premios que ofrece esta nueva cita nos atiende en directo desde Albacete el director del festival, José Manuel Zamora, que también va a protagonizar la sección “La película de tu vida”. Min 18: EL FILTRO LUCHINI Nuestra presencia en Albacete no nos hace olvidar que estamos ante un fin de semana de marcado tono manchego. Y es que ya está en salas el último y esperado trabajo de Pedro Almodóvar. Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández nos sacan de dudas y nos ofrecen su sincera valoración sobre la calidad del primer largometraje en inglés del cineasta de Calzada de Calatrava. “The room next door” es la estrella de la cartelera, pero no la única. Nuestros críticos repasan también lo mejor y lo peor de estrenos como “Smile 2”, “Oro verde”, “La hora del silencio” o “El club de los Milagros”. Min 47: BSO: Avance “Robot Salvaje” Y aunque esta vez nos quedamos sin tiempo para una de nuestras sesiones de análisis de bandas sonoras, nuestro experto Ángel Luque nos trae un delicioso avance de la que estña llamada a ser una de las sensaciones musicales del año: el trabajo de Kris Bowers para “Robot Salvaje”.

Robert Winfree, Mark Radulich, Zachary Strobel and Chris Owen present their The Wild Robot 2024 Movie Review!The Wild Robot is a 2024 American animated science fiction survival film based on the book series of the same name by Peter Brown, produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film was written and directed by Chris Sanders, produced by Jeff Hermann, and executive-produced by Sanders's longtime collaborative partner Dean DeBlois. It stars the voices of Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Catherine O'Hara, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames. In the film, Roz (Nyong'o), a robot shipwrecked on an uninhabited island, must adapt to her surroundings, build relationships with the local wildlife, and become the adoptive mother of an orphaned goose.Sanders first encountered the original The Wild Robot book through his daughter and years later was offered an opportunity to direct a film adaptation at DreamWorks. The film uses a hand-painted aesthetic, inspired by classic Disney animated films and the works of Hayao Miyazaki. It would be the final film to be animated entirely in-house at DreamWorks, as the studio would begin relying heavily on outside vendors after 2024. Kris Bowers composed the film's score, marking his first score for an animated film.The Wild Robot premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States on September 27, 2024. The film received critical acclaim and has grossed $54 million against a $78 million budget.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Episode 4 of Opening Life Podcast is a conversation about a movie about a book. It's also about the book's author, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist, Isabel Wilkerson. The film, by director Ava DuVernay is called Origins. It's a sensitive and powerful telling of Isabel's journey writing the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. The translucent soundtrack is by Kris Bowers, whose music-writing credits include the film Green Book, and the second season of Bridgerton. As is our custom in our podcast, we feature the music prominently. This conversation between our guest Michael Jordan (a great soul but not a basketball player!) Brittany, and Kyle could serve as an excellent preparation for seeing the film, or as a conversation catalyst for those who have already seen the film or read the book. Both Origins and Caste are not to be missed. They are windows into one of humankind's most enduring and life-diminishing practices.  You can find other life-opening articles on our website at nexusonline.org

#243: We're bringing you an encore presentation of our interview with composer Kris Bowers about the documentary short he co-directed called "The Last Repair Shop." The film won an Oscar this past Sunday. This episode originally aired on February 27, 2024. Today we're talking to pianist, film composer and LAUSD alumnus Kris Bowers. Bowers has composed the scores for films like "Green Book," "King Richard" and "The Color Purple," and streaming series like "Dear White People" and "Bridgerton."But that LAUSD part of his resume is very relevant to one of his latest projects.It's a short documentary that Bowers co-directed (along with Ben Proudfoot) called “The Last Repair Shop." It's all about the technicians who work in a repair shop downtown, fixing and tuning the more than 100,000 instruments the district provides to students, free of charge.In addition to an Oscar nod, the film has also inspired a $15 million capital campaign — to raise funds for the repair shop and for a student apprenticeship program.

When Oscar season rolls around, everyone's trying to catch up on the blockbuster films. But there's rarely buzz about the short films, especially the short documentary category. This year, two joyful California films made the nominee list. Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó is a love letter from Fremont-raised filmmaker Sean Wang to his two grandmothers, 94 year old Nǎi Nai and 83 year old Wài Pó. They are in-laws turned best friends who spend their days together, even sharing a bed. The Last Repair Shop tells the remarkable stories of the people behind the scenes who fix instruments for students learning music in LA Unified School district. Sasha Khokha talks to Sean Wang as well as Kris Bowers and Ben Proudfoot, the co-directors behind The Last Repair Shop, about their films.

Continuing our coverage of Academy Award-nominated shorts, Mike speaks with Kris Bowers (previously nominated for “A Concerto is a Conversation”)  and Ben Proudfoot (an Academy-Award winner for “The Queen of Basketball”) , directors of “The Last Repair Shop”.     The film sketches the stories–both representative of the Los Angeles workforce, as well as fascinating in their own right–of 4 repair workers who fix the instruments of students from the LAUSD.  Lyrical in presentation, and symphonic in structure, the film can be seen not only as a paean to the redemptive powers of music, but a call for reconciliation in a time of deep polarization.   You can watch “The Last Repair Shop” on Disney+.   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @krisbowersmusic on Instagram and twitter  @bgproudfoot on Instagram and twitter @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter   Hidden Gems:   The Act of Killing The Sentence of Michael Thompson

It's an Oscar-worthy episode of Matinee With Matt! Matt and Michael talk to Oscar winner Ben Proudfoot ("The Queen of Basketball") and Emmy winner Kris Bowers ("The Color Purple"), the filmmaking team behind the Academy Award-nominated documentary short film, "The Last Repair Shop." Ben and Kris are a talented duo whose newest film enlightens the world of education through interviews with adults and children affected by musical instruments that need restoration in Los Angeles public schools. "The Last Repair Shop" is a powerful look into making students' dreams come true using music as their guide. The film explores the folks working at one of the last remaining shops used by the Los Angeles Unified School District to repair musical instruments and the challenges faced by just trying to give children confidence in their abilities. It's a heartwarming journey that began with a simple idea and has brought Ben and Kris all the way to the Academy Awards. Check it out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast presents an interview with Ben Proudfoot, a Los Angeles-based filmmaker most noted as the director of The Queen of Basketball, winner of the 2021 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject. With co-director Kris Bowers he also brought to life the short documentary film A Concerto Is a Conversation, which was an Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 93rd Academy Awards in 2021. His latest documentary, The Last Repair Shop — the focus of this episode — is nominated at this year's Academy Awards for Best Documentary Short Subject. Once commonplace in the United States, today Los Angeles is by far the largest and one of the last American cities to provide free and freely repaired musical instruments to its public schoolchildren, a continuous service since 1959. The Last Repair Shop grants an all access pass to the nondescript downtown warehouse where a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople keep over 80,000 student instruments in good repair and in it the film blends the unexpectedly intimate personal histories of the repair people with emotional, firsthand accounts from the actual student musicians for whom their instruments made all the difference. In this episode host Michael Shields and Ben Proudfoot expound upon what music and access to instruments means to the lives of the children in Los Angeles while considering how the power of music has changed the lives of those who passionately labor in the repair shop. They talk about how the promise of the American Dream manifests itself within the documentary, the message of hope that is abounding in the film, and so much more. Ultimately this episode celebrates an inspiring documentary that serves as a passionate love letter to Los Angeles and to those unsung heroes who gave countless others the gift of music. This is an episode that pays tribute to a truly unique program that has produced countless legends from John Williams to Kendrick Lamar.Watch The Last Repair Shop here! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Directors Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers explore a hidden corner of Los Angeles in their Oscar-shortlisted short documentary ‘The Last Repair Shop,' a place where dedicated professionals keep tens of thousands of musical instruments in perfect working order for the city's public-school students. They share stories of these unsung technicians, and the kids whose lives are transformed by gaining access to free -- and freely-repaired -- instruments from sousaphones to saxes.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Director Blitz Bazawule joins his composer Kris Bowers to discuss their new adaptation of “The Color Purple.” You may remember the original filmed adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, directed by Steven Spielberg, from 1985. This version is actually an adaptation of the hit Broadway show, which won two Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. Our guest host, music journalist Jon Burlingame, returns to the Dolby Institute Podcast to speak with Kris and Blitz about their collaboration on the film, which began very early in the filmmaking process. “I brought Kris on very early because I really believe in my entire team being on the same page right when we begin. I don't believe in silos as a filmmaker and, ultimately, I fancy myself more of a conductor than anything else. I need my entire symphony to start building some kind of harmony, and I can't wait till the very ending to bring on my composer when so much has already been discussed. So bringing Kris on also helped [him] understand how we were approaching music from a macro perspective, what were the intentions around these choices that then he could then expand into the scoring process. And why Kris? I mean, he's the coolest cat. That's just it.”—Blitz Bazawule, Director, “The Color Purple” (2023)Be sure to check out The Color Purple now in theaters, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®, where available.Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.
