Film composer and musician A.J. Caruso joins the show to chat with Derek about growing up in New Orleans, what inspired him to become a musician, and his time as a touring musician across the southeast. He also talks about his transition into the film industry, making his first short film “Z.14.12,” learning new aspects of filmmaking, the process of scoring a film, how he “becomes” the projects he works on, and their mutual experiences with working on “Sur’vi!”
