about

When I watched the rough cut of Jacinta, I was immediately struck by the film’s non-negotiable courage, intimacy and commitment to fierce honesty. The amazing filmmaking team of director Jessica Earnshaw, producer Holly Meehl and editor George O’Donnell were able to tell Jacinta's powerful story of generational trauma and addiction without falling into a common trap of exploiting the main characters and subject matter.

As a film composer, I am drawn to this type of storytelling. It allows for nuance in the music itself, which I welcome as a challenge and methodology. Oftentimes, composers are asked to manipulate too much in a film. The music then becomes quite binary: good vs. bad, happy vs. sad, peaceful vs. angry, etc. But in life, emotions tend to be much more layered and complex. We can oftentimes feel sad, angry, exhausted and slightly hopeful all at the same time. This is what this film was asking of the score: to be authentic, layered, nuanced and respectful of the film’s characters and the audience’s ability to have their own feelings and opinions.

Jessica was also very adamant from the get go about not wanting the score to become another cliché, guitar-driven addiction score, and an orchestral approach was going to be too big and potentially patronizing for an intimate, understated project such as this. So the score has an understated minimal approach to it, grounded in raw simplicity and a commitment to mostly stay out of the way.
