Searching for Film Composer | Short Film: "Amazing Eyes"
Short Film | Psychological Romance Drama | Estimated Film Length: ~19 minutes
Title: Amazing Eyes
Logline: When a pedantic movie star invites a timid fan into his home, they form an unsettling bond shaped by his quiet psychological control.
One Word on Theme: Submission
One Sentence on Theme: How people come to submit to a relationship they can’t leave.
Tone: Balances between an exciting whirlwind romance and the subtle sinister aspects of intimacy, power, codependency and ultimately, submission.
- Jonny Greenwood – Phantom Thread and Nelson Riddle’s Lolita (1962) are the closest tonal references
Music Direction: We want something ‘beautiful’ for the film’s romanticism, but other tracks that give way to haunting, discomforting beats of control and manipulation, and some that balance both. We’d also like a refined older chamber orchestra feel similar to the references above.
The film is set in England. One of the lead characters is a wealthy actor who feels like an anachronism from the 1950s/60s.
We’re thinking along lines of chamber orchestra, intimate strings & piano.
We are also open to your perspective and input. The above is what we think we are looking for; feel free to show us what we might be missing.
Rough cut available to view alongside mini-treatment essay exploring the film’s themes.
