Post-production has started for FROM THE WINDOW, the next short film by director Adam P. Cray. Brandon and Adam’s last collaboration, SAFE DISTANCE, resulted in a 5 minute experimental score. We can look forward to another interesting sound scape coming up.
UPCOMING PROJECTS 2019
The new year is already busy in terms of new film projects in production with one feature film score completed and more coming up later in the year.
First up is the feature film THE YEAR I DID NOTHING for director Ana Barredo. The film takes place in 1985 Manila and follows young siblings who creatively kill time together waiting for their US immigration to slowly process and their homeland readies to revolt against its most famous dictator, Ferdinand Marcos.
Frequent collaborator Roger Lay Jr. also has a few projects in production, one of which is a short film titled ALMA’S POND. The short is based on a tale written by acclaimed children’s author Bruce Coville and stars some familiar faces from Brandon and Roger’s previous collaboration ALIENS ATE MY HOMEWORK.
