Masterclass with Max Aruj: November 10, 11:30 AM PT (On campus) Join an in-person masterclass with Max Aruj, one of the most in-demand composers working in blockbuster cinema today. Aruj began his career at Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions while studying composition at USC, and has since scored Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning , The Ice Road , Lansky , and Crawl , alongside additional music for Top Gun: Maverick , Black Widow , Mission: Impossible — Fallout , The Crown , and His Dark Materials . His score for Netflix's Man on Fire series arrived in 2026. He has collaborated closely with Lorne Balfe, Rupert Gregson-Williams, and Steffen Thum across film, television, and games. In this session, he breaks down how a film actually gets its sound — working with directors, finding a score's identity before picture lock, and what the job looks like day to day at the top of the industry.
