S04E10: Carla Patullo — Storytelling Through Music

Carla Patullo always knew she wanted to make music. Her parents insisted that if this was the path she wanted to pursue, she needed to go to school, which is how Carla found herself at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, one of two women in the music program. Beyond earning a degree, Carla left Berklee with something else: a passion for new and unique music that she hadn’t been exposed to growing up but it was film scoring that called to her and after a few years of writing music and touring with her band White Widow, she began work in the film industry, scoring everything from documentaries to horror films. We recently spoke with Carla about her creative process, the challenges of being an openly gay woman working in a largely male industry, and the balance of creating commercial work to fund the important work.
