We sought after music tracks that immediately put you inside the tavern. We mixed the music like it was coming from a jukebox inside.

Jon Chiang | The Mime

Produced by Chifa Studios

I knew I wanted the piece to feel dynamic and help underscore the emotion behind Yayoi’s words. I was searching for strings and piano and “Nocturne in Paris” felt like it fit perfectly for the emotional high I wanted to end the film with – just enough without being over the top. I decided to bring in “Lux” at the beginning to set the tone with a track that drew me in and would draw the audience into Yayoi’s story. It has a really beautiful pull.” – Jon Chiang

I Can Do That*

We have been huge Darren King fans for a while. We all listened to his band Mutemath in high school and have followed his career since leaving the band.

Just Start

Created by Kyle Dijamco

The biggest obstacle I had to overcome is nothing unique but rather common to all filmmakers. I had both the luxury, but also the crutch to be a one-man band for this film. I did the creative, production, and post-production all by myself. Starting this film 4 days before the release date made, time and shot planning was the biggest obstacle. This was a guerrilla-style filmmaking shoot so traveling across multiple LA locations in a day became exhausting. I ended up not even using one location because it didn’t fit with the story, so that half day become a waste but a great learning experience that not everything always goes to plan.” – Kyle Dijamco
