About this episode
It's not often that we get to talk to a composer in depth about his path from a 10-year-old starting piano lessons to working in film and video games. Austin Wintory has been scoring films for 15 years from the time he left college, and has now written music for video games in prestige franchises including Assassin's Creed, Command and Conquer, John Wick, Counter Strike, League of Legends, and many more. We go the distance with Austin about how he took charge of his high school orchestra program, didn't get into his dream school USC but found a way to get there anyway, and began to leverage his early student film projects into video games and films!
