- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
BEN: Playing Freddy the bullfrog in a summer school musical called "Once Upon a Lily Pad" (lol). ANDREAS: I was a munchkin in The Wizard of Oz!
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
BEN: I read To The Lighthouse in high school and felt something crack open in me. ANDREAS: I started writing when I realized that it would help me direct films in an intentional and narrative-driven way.
- How do you describe your style/work?
"Different in Daylight" is one of two songs that we co-wrote for Andreas's first-year film at NYU Grad Film. We use music as a way to create emotional development and narrative momentum in film.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
ANDREAS: I love it when it comes together, something clicks between the people performing it, and the whole story starts to work. BEN: I love that, like theater, the real thing only exists in the moment.
