Derek Kirkup joins The Film Scorer Podcast to talk about his gentle, bittersweet score to the new familial drama Sorority. Along the way we talk about Nic Cage’s acting career and how his boundary-pushing approach may have parallels to pushing film music forward, as well as music in AR and VR cinematic experiences.
Sorority released on Amazon Prime on February 10th, and Derek’s score comes out on February 14th. You can also find more out about Derek on his website.
About Sorority: “Sorority explores the lives and relationships of two sisters; Sarah, a talented writer on the verge of attending Oxford University; and Harriet, who dreams of escaping the confines of their estate and leaving behind her overbearing boyfriend, Andrew. The sisters’ close relationship is the most important thing in each of their lives and, with their father gone, it is only this bond that truly means anything. As Harriet prepares a move to the other side of the country, the sisters spend their last few days together reflecting on the past, and learning to come to terms with the future and life without each other. Sorority is an emotional, modern drama, intimately told through powerful performances, sumptuous visuals and an effecting soundscape.” – from Springhead Film Company
