There is something in the heart of this movie that attracts you. After a day I realized that I wanted to do whatever it took to compose a whole original piece of music. The film deserved to have its own musical voice. I booked for five days and asked Nick if he could come for a day to write a theme song and play the piano. He saw the movie and stayed four days. In the end we made what I think is one of the most beautiful films we have ever worked on. One of my favorite experiences working on a project. The stars are the animals in all their wild glory, as we have never seen them before, and man with reverence and wonder.
