GEORGE SHAW

Before I even saw Rogue One opening night, friends of mine were already telling me that the score by Michael Giacchino was disappointing. Having come from the perspective of composing my own score to a Star Wars fan film (Way to the Rebellion, directed by Wesley Chan, which coincidentally deals with the empire mining Kyber crystals for the Death Star), I know how difficult it is to write in John Williams’ style and create memorable themes.

Composing music for Harry Shum Jr.'s "The Lonely Writer" was a fun challenge. As the short encompasses various movie genres, changing almost every few seconds, the result was a collage of music genres, similar to a composer's reel! #georgeshaw #harryshumjr #glee #lonelywriter #music #soundtrack #composer #score
