The Film Music Institute interviews Jeff Grace

GEP pal Jeff Grace sits with Daniel Schweiger from The Film Music Institute to chat
about the music of the Netflix series SWEET TOOTH, directed by Jim Mickle. 

From FMI: With his talent for often evoking homespun, rustic darkness from the terrifyingly intimate residences of “The House of the Devil” to “The Innkeepers,” the twisted families of “Cold in July” and “We Are What We Are,” an unforgiving western landscape in “Meek’s Cutoff” and the beast-prowling environs of “The Roost” and “The Last Winter,” composer Jeff Grace has been building an especially chilling and unforgiving repertoire. Beginning his career assisting Howard Shore on his “Rings” trilogy and “Gangs of New York,” the NYC-based Grace would find a gifted filmmaker to further lead him into the darkness with Jim Mickle. First teaming for the vampire apocalypse of 2010’s “Stake Land,” Grace’s evocative, western-tinged score evoked both a future’s impossible horror as well as the emotional bond between master killer and a newfound son of sorts.

Adam Kritzer’s GOOD FUNK featuring Fessenden set to debut June 8 2021

Comingsoon.net has the scoop:

Exclusive Good Funk Trailer & Key Art From Adam Kritzer’s Drama

ON

Exclusive Good Funk Trailer & Key Art From Adam Kritzer's Drama

ComingSoon.net is debuting the exclusive trailer and key art from the drama movie Good Funk, written and directed by Adam Kritzer. The film is the product of an unprecedented film training and visual literacy program that recruited young Brooklynites to learn filmmaking craft, share their stories, and collaborate for pay on a feature film production. The result is a portrait of love enduring and a testament to discovering family in unexpected places.

Set in Red Hook, a Brooklyn neighborhood on the verge of gentrification, Good Funk tells the story of three generations of citizens, Afro-Caribbean immigrants, whose lives intersect through acts of kindness both big and small. The polyrhythmic narrative is as much a living, breathing document of a community as it is a touching collection of moments in the lives of its inhabitants—cinematic instances that may initially seem elusive in intent but coalesce into a poignant, meaningful cadence.

Check out the exclusive trailer below along with the key art:

Good Funk stars Leonay Shepherd, Kalae Nouveau, Larry Fessenden (Habit, Wendigo, The Dead Don’t Die), Brandy Burre (The Wire, Perfect Poison, Slash), Cedric Cannon (FBI, Moon and Sun), Dina Shihabi (Daredevil, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), Sandra Reaves-Phillips (‘Round Midnight, Lean on Me, Law & Order), Sameerah Luqmaan-Harris (Sharp Objects, Room 104), and William Nadylam (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald).

The movie was produced by Kritzer (Lace Crater) and Harrison Atkins (Easy) and is the winner of the Harlem Spotlight for Best Feature at the 2016 Harlem International Film Festival.

Good Funk will be available to purchase or rent digitally on June 8, 2021 from 1091 Pictures. You can pre-order your copy here!
