I had never worked on a film with the feeling of this one, and I really enjoyed it. This story is told almost entirely by means of the dialog between the main characters, which gives it a kind of 1940s vibe despite the modern setting and events. The producers really challenged me in several ways, which is always good - that’s how you get better. The scoring and composition was the easy part in this film - the largest block of time easily was the dialog editing and sound design.

Hear the title song IT’S JUST FATE from the opening titles >

It's Just Fate by Grant Maloy Smith

For the film, popular singer Kelley Lennon was hired to sing this songs, and she did a great job.
