Film Composer Nick Kirk & Lessons from the Tin-Man [SE Thanksgiving Special]

This Thanksgiving Day special brings back one of my favorite episodes from last year, plus an all-new interview with Whitestone Motions Pictures producer and film composer Nick Kirk.Last year during Thanksgiving, we had a special about the dark origin of the Tin-Man from the Wizard of Oz and the lessons filmmakers and other artists can learn from that story. The basis for that episode was Whitestone Motion Pictures director Brandon McCormick talking about the making of their film "Heartless," their version of the aforementioned Tin-Man origin story. This Thanksgiving we bring that episode back, plus a brand new interview with Whitestone's film composer Nick Kirk. This whole episode is chock full of artistic inspiration.<img src= "http://daredreamer.fm/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/itunes-logo-300x112.jpg" alt="itunes-logo" width="150" height="56" /><img class= "alignnone wp-image-515" src= "http://daredreamer.fm/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/stitcher_button-300x110.jpg" alt="stitcher_button" width="150" height="55" /><img class= "alignnone wp-image-516" src= "http://daredreamer.fm/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/rss-300x107.jpg" alt="rss" width="151" height="54" />Music in this EpisodeMusic from today’s episode was curated from the Song Freedom.
