Director's word
"When I was finishing the post-production of my debut documentary, Colors of Tobi, having an original score was crucial to elevate the film. Working with Andor was an incredible experience - he immediately understood the complex emotions and tone of the project. The first samples he presented were very close to the final versions; he crafted themes that supported the story without overwhelming it, which was essential to me. His music is both simple and deeply moving, and I hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with him again on my second feature."
