Chapter 6: How did Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Göransson first meet?
They don't get the idea of walking, right? But I quickly understood that the bus just doesn't come. So I moved to USC to live close to campus. I could walk from... And I ended up moving into like a fraternity house that was only open for grad students. And it literally felt like I didn't know what fraternity was at the time. Like, it literally felt like I moved into an American Pie movie.
Yes.
so one night we had a party ryan came over and we ended up playing pool together and how he had and i remember uh ryan had these super long locks you know down to his to his back uh and kind of you know kind of muscle muscular in a way because he had just you know he had just come from uh football he played football for sac state for college so he'd And we started talking, playing pool.
And then I remember specifically talking about music. And he had a lot of knowledge about, we talked about Swedish artists. Yeah. And that's kind of what we kind of started bonding over, music. And then that translated into film. And so, yeah, we were just kind of college kids in the beginning. Started just hanging out at parties and talking about music and film.
Was there a moment... when you decided we're going to kind of work together forever? Like, you know, it's one thing to like each other's taste, but sometimes people work a certain way that doesn't, you know, connect with the way you like to work. How do you two like to work together and why does it work?
the first score I did was for a little feature or the student film he had called locks. And I, I played guitar on that. And he was like, he was, it was just so funny because I remember his reaction when he first heard his, my music for his little short film. And he was like blown away. It's like, Oh my God, I can't believe it. Someone writes music for my film.
And I was kind of worried he was not going to like it first. So when he was just blown away, that reaction, it was just so... It was so fun. And then every time we were together, it was like he had such an...
it was it was like such a um he was so passionate about his work and and uh and it was always so fun right so and and we so we both are like addicted addictive like we love our work right and and when you get to combine that friendship with with with work uh so that that's that's that's that makes it very special you can hang out with your with your buddies right while working

But when I was thinking about what I wanted to talk to you about today, like the big thematic thing is that, and what I love about your work and your characters is that you don't limit the possibilities of what you want to do as an artist and what your characters could do.
Like you're really into the idea of almost open borders in terms of, in terms of, in terms of what people can do and also like what's in them, basically what's in them. And I feel like that comes from, I've, you know, been reading so much about you and watching, of course, everything you make. And,
it feels like you're really into this idea of making sure that you get influences from everywhere, like that that really informs you. Why do you think it's important to be influenced all the time by many different things?
I think for me, I'm interested in like a lot of different things, you know? And all of my experience has definitely like informed me where I find myself, right? Yeah. And I think that,
what I do and, you know, the position I occupy in the industry is, you know, I'm trusted to make things that can go into theaters and work for people from a lot of different backgrounds and environments and circumstances, right?
