Alan Silvestri

A Story in Every Note... A film's score resonates with us long after the credits roll. Upon hearing them, we're transported to our favorite scenes and rejoined with characters we love. Alan Silvestri's outstanding compositions showcase this power with sophisticated energy. Just a few bars put us in the DeLorean with Marty and Doc. Three notes, and we're sharing chocolates on a park bench in Savannah with Forrest Gump. A couple chords, and we're battling Thanos alongside Iron Man. In honor of his decades of artistry, SCAD awarded Alan the Lifetime Achievement Award in Composing at the 2019 SCAD Savannah Film Festival. Listen in as Paula Wallace and Alan discuss what goes into the creation of such iconic scores and how collaboration fuels the film industry.
