A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of working with the wonderful director Cynthia Silver on her short film ‘The Shallow End’.
Set in the 80s, the film reflects ‘the sunny glow of Reagan’s America’, and the soundtrack was the result of much guilty-pleasure research listening, and a hefty dose of misplaced childhood.
The film premiered at the 2019 Adirondack Film Festival, and went on to play many other festivals and garner a slew of awards.
And as of September 15th 2022, you can stream the soundtrack for your own guilty-pleasure listening. It’s short but fun; kind of like a garden gnome.
