Abstract
This NZ-produced film premiered at the Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival, where it was a semi-finalist in the Best Short Film category.
The majority of the film takes place in a taxi, centered on two characters who reconnect years after their adolescent romance. It explores themes of nostalgia and regret for the paths not taken.
I composed the music for the film, using a minimalist approach of piano and strings. As the film has limited use of location, with only two characters, I used the music to provide dramatic shape and pacing, as well as express the unspoken thoughts of the characters.
