I’m a little late in announcing this one, but tonight Bye premieres on the PBS POV documentary series. The film follows a feature documentary called Good Fortune. Bye might be shown at later broadcasts as well, but after today the film will be available on the POV website. For more details on the movie and credits, visit POV’s website: http://www.pbs.org/pov/bye/credits.php.
Bye (Trailer) from Anthony Morrison on Vimeo.
Hello from the road! Well, not exactly the road, but this is in fact my first remote blogging experience. I’m in Chicago for the next few days on business, but I wanted to write about last night’s Cinereach premiere of Anthony Morrison’s Bye. I did the final mix on this short documentary on Jayden, a two and a half year old boy diagnosed with autism, and the early intervention program he attends in NYC.
The movie premiered at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York, and has already won a special fellowship award from the Cinereach organization. Seeing (or hearing, in my case) your work on the big screen is a bit daunting, but also incredibly thrilling. Typically, when I’m mixing or composing for a film, I work with a small quicktime video file. Most of the online videos I compose stay in a smaller picture size. But last night, Jayden was blown up two stories tall! I did at one point wonder whether this was the same documentary I was working on weeks earlier (of course, it was).

I will most likely post an update on this movie as soon as it goes to festival, so stay tuned.
