Roger Neill on the Sonic Time Travel of 'Valley Girl' - Film School Rejects
Film School Rejects, as part of their Keeping Score series, recently posted an interview with Roger about the music for his latest film, Valley Girl, which hit VOD platforms last month.
“Forcing a retro experience offers little satisfaction beyond clique reinforcement. Films cannot live on citations and high-fives of recognition. As a composer, Neill has to deliver on a genuine emotional exchange between character and audience. Valley Girl contains plenty of winks, but by the climax, it’s the authentic warmth that binds us to the narrative.”
