Music and film have always been a part of my life. I remember watching home videos that my mom would make of me dancing around the house, and in the background she would play “Love Me Do” by the Beatles. It wasn’t until I was about thirteen, and watching “Brokedown Palace”, that I really connected the power between sound and picture. It still gets me every time; there’s a moment in the movie where Claire Danes is sitting in this prayer garden in the Thai prison, and you see total despondence cast over her entire persona. But it’s the song, “Delerium” by Silence, that takes everything her character is feeling and completely arrests the audience throughout the scene. In that first moment, at thirteen, I felt the power of music! How, when paired with visual emotion, it can define something unspoken. My dream for The Sessions is to be the conduit that provides the soundtrack to your life. Beyond placing music in movie scenes, I want to diminish the boundary between artist and audience and connect the two through intimate film.
