Hey Reddit, I’m Mark Mancina — I’ve scored films like Speed, Bad Boys, Moana, Training Day, Brother Bear, and Twister. Here to answer questions about my journey in film scoring. I’ve also launched a YouTube channel diving into Hollywood music, BTS moments, and classic guitars. Ask me anything!

Hi Reddit,

I'm Mark Mancina, I've scored/composed movies such as Speed, Bad Boys, Moana 1 & 2, Twister, Training Day, Brother Bear, Tarzan, August Rush and more. I've also worked in the music department for films such as Terminator 3, Rollerball, Fight Club, Con Air, The Lion King, True Romance, Cliffhanger, and lots more.

I'd love to talk to you all about anything ranging from scoring films, working with Hans Zimmer, classic guitars, the Lion King play, to breaking into the music industry. I've been nominated for 4 Grammys (The Lion King x2, Tarzan, Moana) and a Tony.

I look forward to what you all have to say! And afterward, please follow me on YouTube where I tell more stories from throughout my music career:

Ask me anything! Back at 1 PM ET tomorrow (Thursday 10/16) to answer your questions.
