DEADLINE has the scoop!

“The performances have a lovely informality,
with indie film mainstay Larry Fessenden showing up as a sympathetic McDonald’s colleague
and Luqmaan-Harris nicely capturing the deflating depression of struggling with poverty,
and being entirely “too good” for that.

Kitzer makes good use of a modest selection of locations,
streets, apartments, subway platforms and riverside scenes.
The spare plot and limited locations suits the indie nature of it all…

Like Red Hook itself, “Good Funk” is worth a look,
even if you know you’ll need to move on
to find something and some place with more excitement in it.”

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.
