Karyn Rachtman has worked on music for Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and with Baz Luhrmann for Romeo & Juliet, among others. Now, the Auckland-based American music producer wants to help New Zealand musicians break into screen music.

Later this week she will launch Auckland Screen Music at the Syncposium Conference in the city - aimed at helping local artists secure overseas work, and linking international productions with top talent here.
