We’ve been working on the score for the film for the past three weeks. Eric Fares (Sam Roberts Band), Jason Thomas (who manages The Dears), Matt Forsythe (guitarist and co-story on the film), and Vanessa Russell (a professional cellist who also acted in the film) composed the score together.

This was the first time any of us had composed for a film. The music came together beautifully and very organically. Nothing was pre-written and everyone collaborated fully.

It was interesting to see how, sometimes, the music didn’t seem to work on its own yet felt rich and complex with the imagery.

We constantly consulted with the images to ensure the music remained grounded in the film.
