The Kenya Film Commission just announced SUBIRA is Kenya’s official submission for the 92nd Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category!!
Very excited to have scored this inspiring film, directed by Sippy Chadha, derived from her own life story. Congrats to the fantastic team, especially editor Terry Kelly and producer Vibeke Nørgaard Muasya . It’s really exciting to be part of such an international team (Kenyan Director, Danish Producer, American Editor, Israeli composer)… Special thank you to the coolest musicians who contributed their talents to the score: Sonja Drakulich- Featured vocalist; Netanel Lesser- Oud, Ro Rowan- Cello; and Franklin Jones Jr.- Score Mixer.
