Channeling creative juices with movie soundtracks
My good friend and fellow filmmaker Frank Hanley once gave me the best screenwriting advice ever: listen to soundtracks while you write.
I have attempted to heed this advice, but I don’t have a lot of soundtracks on my computer. However, what I do have is iTunes and its selection of internet radio channels. I am currently listening to Fistful of Soundtracks under the eclectic category. It’s got a pretty great variety of movie scores and songs – old and new. The coolest thing is that every now and then it plays a random old movie trailer. I just heard one for an old kung-fu flick. It sounds like the ones you’d hear on an old VHS tape before the feature presentation.
Anyway, if you like soundtracks, give it a listen sometime.
