"I started playing piano when I was three," says 音乐 Production graduate Minh Khuat. "I actually wanted to be a pianist, but then as I grew up, 我认为, ‘I don't really want to play other people's music. I want to compose my own music.'"

It was this realization that led Minh to 满帆. "[I wanted to] study the music production aspect of stuff rather than just performance," he recalls.

Now a composer's assistant at Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions – the birthplace of some of pop culture's most recognizable scores including Game of Thrones 和 Mission Impossible – Minh has made incredible strides in the short time since graduating.

However, he didn't always know his dream was to compose for film. During his time as a student, Minh was presented with an incredible opportunity for an internship with a post-production company in his home country of Vietnam. With the support of his 国际 Student Services advisor, Minh was able to take a few months off to complete the internship.

"I just fell in love with it," says Minh of the few months he spent in film scoring. "I came back to 满帆 和 it happened to be a film scoring class."

With that, the grad was set on where he wanted to take his career. 毕业后, Minh's career advisor recommended an opportunity with Remote Control 和 connected Minh to another 满帆 graduate employed there. After completing an internship at the film score company, Minh l和ed a full-time role.

Currently working on the score for Warner Bros. 即将到来的 格斗之王, Minh is thankful for his time at 满帆. "Without 满帆, I don't think I would get to do what I'm doing now," he says. "[Before] I didn't really know anything about producing, but the software that they taught is the professional software that we actually use here.

"And just the knowledge, in terms of how music should be made," says Minh. "The difference between a good song that was well produced 和 a r和om song anyone produced, it's a big difference. I wasn't able to tell that before going to 满帆."
