David Wain and Craig Wedren: The Art of Music for Film, TV, and Wet Hot American Summer

We’re talking about the art of music for film and TV with composer, songwriter, and singer Craig Wedren of the band Shudder to Think and director, writer, actor David Wain of The State, Stella, and Wet Hot American Summer fame. In this conversion, we dive into David and Craig’s lifelong friendship, the creative kindling of their days as roommates at NYU, working together on The State and films Role Models, Wanderlust, and They Came Together, and we talk all about the world of Wet Hot American Summer. We discuss Craig’s songwriting process, David’s screenwriting approach, Craig’s work scoring Yellowjackets with Anna Waronker of That Dog, and what it takes to make a successful creative collaboration. Shoutout of thanks to Ben Lee for introducing us.Hear more from Craig Wedren at http://www.craigwedren.com. See more from David Wain at https://davidwain.com. Original episode artwork by host Rob Goodman.Visit http://www.makingwayspodcast.com for art, episodes, show notes, blog posts, and exclusive merchandise. Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/making.ways.
