The Tide is Rising
It was December 6, 2006, at the Paramount Theatre in Wellington... a nearly-full house of movie spectators... it was the grand premier... it was the one-and-only showing... are you excited yet?
Oh stop, it's not that big of a deal! There were three short films premiering that night, the final product of the 2006 graduating class of The Film School. Actually, it was a bit exciting - I wrote the soundtrack for the first film, titled "The Tide is Rising"!
I sat in a rear-ish seat (it was quite full, several hundred peeps) and took in the moment - the glory - and as the film began, I immediately thought, "Wow, I wish we'd recorded the soundtrack better!" And, "Not bad for a week-end's work!" Alas, it was cool to see a movie in a grand theatre, knowing that I wrote the soundtrack for the film.... with my friend Vorn... he wrote the bass line for the scene where Jenny is walking along the street.
The film's editor has made it available on YouTube, so you can check it out!
