My guest is Randall Poster. If you don’t know the name, I guarantee you’ve heard his work. Randall is a music supervisor. He’s responsible for creating the soundtracks and overseeing the scores of some truly iconic films. Among his many credits is a 20 year collaboration with director Wes Anderson, crafting the musical profile of all his films dating back to 1996’s Bottle Rocket. From Rushmore’s sound of the British Invasion, to the Portuguese covers of David Bowie in Life Aquatic, from the music in the films of Satyajit Ray for The Darjeeling Limited, and the Eastern European Folk Music of The Grand Budapest Hotel, there’s always been a new stone to turn behind one of the most fruitful collaborations in cinema. In addition to his work with Wes, Randall has had longstanding collaborations with great directors such as Richard Linklater, Todd Haynes, Martin Scorsese, Sam Mendes, and Harmony Korine. Behind all of his work, it’s clear to see a genuine love of music and film that’s persisted through a long career. I photographed Randall at his office in New York and you can see the portrait at our website at www.williamjesslaird.com/imageculture or on Instagram @william.jess.laird and @image.culture Thank you to Randall Poster, as well as his entire team at Search Party Music.
