The Story:
A journey into the mind of a young boy who escapes a neglectful home life through his grandmother’s love and the power of his imagination.
The Score:
« When Sabrina Doyle approached me to compose the score for her special featurette Go for Grandma, I was thrilled. It was an unparalleled chance to delve into my passion for 1980s orchestral fantasy music, which has always resonated deeply with me.
Taking cues primarily from the script, I crafted a musical journey that perfectly mirrored the film’s fantastical elements—unicorns, dragons, ladybugs, and a dream sequence amidst the ocean.
The score also includes moments of experimental flair and variations on the main theme that culminate in the end credits suite.
I’m profoundly grateful to Sabrina, our director, Ron Cohen, our producer, and Scott Patterson, our executive producer, for their unwavering faith in me and their insistence on my involvement. My heartfelt thanks also goto our editor, Banner Gwin, whose collaborative spirit greatly enriched the creative process.
And, of course, I owe immense gratitude to the Synchron Stage Orchestra, my music team, and the Skywalker Sound team, whose invaluable contributions were essential in achieving these results. »
– Fabrizio Mancinelli
