Heartfelt journey of a terminally ill patient, accompanied by a powerful and lyrical score
Brief
By skillfully weaving our music into the fabric of the film, we aimed to contribute to a profound shift in the audience's perception. Our compositions served as a catalyst for transforming the narrative from “being indisposed”, one of resistance and denial to “embracing what is to come”, acceptance, and embracing what lies ahead.
The film director emphasized that the movie's visual language and overall context carry a significant emotional weight. However, he expressed the desire to utilize sound as a means to uplift and enhance the audience's experience.
I was entrusted with the task of crafting an emotional, transformative, and poetic musical experience aimed at intensifying the film's expression and shifting its overall tone.
Understanding the profound impact that music can have on storytelling, I embarked on a creative journey to compose a score that would evoke powerful emotions and enhance the narrative's transformative elements.
