C i n e M o n t a g e r e c e n t l y c a u g h t u p with Saltzman to learn more about what inspired his new book and what makes it essential reading for composers, editors, directors, and producers—aspiring and established alike. CineMontage: I'm curious to learn how the book first came about and more about the process of writing it. Saltzman: I wanted this book to be a resource that would inspire and guide, a filmmaker, picture editor, director, sound designer, composer, students or new grad- uates with these career dreams, or anybody in the industry just starting out. I felt it was important to ask critical 'It's about timing, and maintaining the composer's idea.'
