Student Profile: Carson Zuck

08/04/2026

Meet Carson Zuck, an Atlanta-based film composer bringing his experience, creative voice and ambition to MDS’s inaugural MFA cohort.

Carson Zuck is an Atlanta-based, BMI-affiliated film composer with an undergraduate degree from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee & Berklee College of Music. His scoring philosophy centers on letting each score grow organically from a story’s own emotional logic across drama, horror, documentary, and animation. Credits include ~30 short films, three indie-features, and short-form content work that has topped over a million views, alongside live-sound engineering work and leadership as VP/Treasurer of Berklee’s Film Scoring Network. This October he will begin a fully funded MFA in Screen Scoring and Music Design under Dr. Andrew Hill as the inaugural Harry Gregson-Williams Named Scholar.

“Set aside the world-class recording sessions, the education, the musical resources, and the beautiful new campus. Set aside the fact that all of it comes fully funded through these inaugural scholarships. Any program directed by Andy is worth being a part of on its own. Dr. Andrew Hill is a titan in the film music industry, and he brings nothing but knowledge and support to the table. I am truly ecstatic to take part in this program!”
