However, at the urging of a few close friends with whom I discussed the book, I expanded it to describe who does what within the music team and how the pro- cess works. Also, I added two chapters on terminology (one focusing on music termi- nology, the other on legal matters regarding music), and I added the Q&A case studies, which oer glimpses into real-world proj- ects ranging from micro-budget shorts to documentaries, to feature films of varying budgets to an episodic TV series. Finally, there's an appendix with sample spotting notes, a sample deal memo, sample cue sheet, and more. CineMontage: A number of talented people contributed to those case studies in the book. What kind of insights did they provide? Rozow: These case studies invite the reader into the mind of the filmmakers and composers who created them. I've never seen a book that has anything quite like it — discussing actual projects with the people who made them. In a way, it's like letting the reader pick the filmmak- er's brain about these specific projects, something they likely will never get a chance to do in real life. CineMontage: What are you working on now? Rozow: I'm currently music editing a film for Netflix. I'm about to start scoring a documentary mini-series for Max, and in my free time, I'm working on two dierent albums — one for a music library and the other just for fun. CineMontage: Where can members find your book and other resources? Rozow: "Every Note Tells a Story" is available through all major retailers, as well as directly on my own website (www. shierozow.com). There are hardcover, paperback, e-book and audiobook versions available. My other book, "Preparing for Scoring Sessions," is also available as a paperback or e-book, and it was recently added to the curriculum at Berklee College of Music's film and media scoring major. Music editors and composers can also find other resources on my website's blog (https://shierozow.com/the-blog/), includ- ing two free Google Sheet templates that I created: the SR show cue manager, which is designed to help the music team keep track of the progress of their project, and the SR project budget estimate template, which is designed to help people create budgets for their projects. I use both regularly and both are free for anyone who wishes to use them. ■ This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
