Gary Powell, Composer/Producer

Just entering the film festival season is Glendalough Studio’s first feature film Guilty.

As my first entree into the feature film scoring role, I found the process of musically interpreting the work of filmmaker Gabe Folse and his team intriguing. In my experience of scoring dozens of corporate communications videos, I was seldom asked to render emotions musically, even had I found any emotions to render. Gabe Folse’s movie is rich with layers of visual, scripted and acted emotions. Clearly, this is film was born from living the compromises of a closely examined life. This landscape of compromise and redemption is the place where music lives most naturally for me.

A modern film-noir, GUILTY is the story of a washed-up private investigator Frank Cord, who takes on a high profile murder case that leads him down a path of deception, reflection and a chance at redemption.

Tonight, December 11th, is Glendalough Studio’s first private screening of the film at Austin Studios. Best of luck to all of the many talented people involved.
