Not Too Long Ago
Dir. Charlotte Barrett"Austin is a director's dream and
a joy to work with. He gives you more than what you wanted. He gives
you something
that you didn't even know was possible" Charlotte and Sean Fallon are regular collaborators as director/producers, so after doing Man Child almost a year before, Not Too Long Ago was a definite in the pipeline. After undergoing a somewhat difficult post-production at no fault of their own, the filmmakers were excited to finally hear a score. It didn't take long before the music was all complete. This film was a fairy tale, but told in a contemporary setting. Perhaps more atypical, however, was its lack of a clear cut 'good vs. evil' story; the characters never fit into typical fable archetypes. As such, the score needed to try and accentuate their tragic rise and fall, while necessarily not taking sides. What resulted was a nearly wall-to-wall orchestral score, lush with strings and celeste as befits a fairy tale.
