Swingers’ Serenade

|
This movie was a blast to make. Finding the perfect apartment to create the period, shooting with 60’s-era technology to help create the look were all part of the equation. But the way the score came together was particularly special. First off, the band consisted of the two leads in the film (Alison and Miles) and was very much in keeping with how I make films. Any number of people going above and beyond and serving in a variety of capacities. I would cut the film on flatbed, videotape the flatbed screen, and bring a tv and vcr into the band’s practice space. They would then reherse and write to this transfer and record the sessions on a boombox. I’d then transfer the audio cassette to mag, sync it up to the film, edit some more, videotape the flatbed and start the process over again. We ultimately recorded the score in a fancy studio where the band played live to a locked picture. Outside of a few coronet bleats, there is very little overdubbing in the soundtrack. Starring: Alison Faith Levy, Miles Montalbano, Jay Hinman, Chris Enright.
