4.1 Miles Nominated for an Academy Award 

Cannot think of a more important time for people to see this remarkable, (and now Academy Award nominated!) short film 4.1 Miles by Daphne Matziaraki. It had me in tears from the very first scene and even after the dozens upon dozens of times that I watched it while composing the music for it, the urgency, scale and severity of this crisis was still every bit as palpable and heart wrenching.  Read the New York Times article, HERE
