REACH FOR THE SKY has won multiple festival honors including the Gold Remi award 44th annual Worldfest Houston International Film Festival and the Texas Heritage Award for its historical representation of 19th century Texas. The film premiered at the Dallas Texfest to a sold out screening at the Angelika Theatre.
John Kasiewicz composed and produced the original score.
"John Kasiewicz' cool, ambitious original score to A Long Road was brilliantly conceptualized and a perfect match to the tone and style of the film. His ability to work steadily and fast without compromising his artful, personal touches to his score is a fantastic accomplishment."
"It was a pleasure working with John on our feature film. He was very flexible and willing to help us discover the sound for the music that we wanted. He was instrumental in bringing out the character and emotions of the story."
"John is a natural technical guitar player...He is a tireless worker, motivated, organized and extremely focused."
It is true that sound and music make up 50% of the finished film, and John's evocative score is a big part of the success of our film. Ever the artist, John is able to grasp the emotional core of a scene and translate it into an accompanying score that amplifies the effect. I had a great time banging heads creatively with John and I think the results speak for themselves in the score for "Reach For The Sky".
"The team behind Driver’s Ed Mutiny did a great job with the audio throughout! The music for the film was great. John Kasiewicz did a nice job on creating a score that really fit the film..." Audio Score: 9.5/10
