From first time director, Timur Bootzin - This short film is a peek into a talent in the making. I composed the original score for this film, which is an interesting hybrid of tonal sound design and percussive underscore. The film has already appeared at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival where Timur Bootzin was awarded Best New Filmmaker. Watch the teaser trailer here.
