With an onslaught of negative news articles coming out about the Michigan economy, I thought it would be nice to share something positive, and to give credit where it's due. Jumbie partner Terry Herald has been doing amazing work writing for film scores. Here's an excerpt from "Scoring Michigan's New Film Industry":
"It looks very promising," says Terry Herald, a composer who also
teaches film music history at Oakland University. Much of Herald's work
has been with local projects, including the soundtrack for the
documentary, Journey to Justice, produced locally by Steve Palackdharry and distributed in Europe.However, he says, "All of the major creative work has been done by talent from California. The work here is the basic labor involved in a film gaffers, grips, set people. There have been some actors that have scored minor roles. But the creative team is coming with the producers out of California. That might change when studios are actually built here."

Jumbie partner and Musica Mundi leader Terry Herald just returned
from Munich, Germany where he attended the July 16 screening of Journey to Justice at the Munich Film Festival. Terry composed the original music for this powerful documentary. Journey to Justice
tells the story of Howard Triest, who as a teenager escaped the Nazi
domination of his home in Munich to later return as an American soldier
involved in the liberation of Buchenwald and the rescue of his
grandmother from Theresienstadt. Acting as the interpreter for the
psychiatrists at the Nuremberg Trials, he interviewed the Nazi high
command responsible for the deaths of his parents and close relatives.
