Description: Over the course of a year, I had the privilege to compose the soundtrack for Em’s film “Elaine Is Almost.” Please give it a watch on Instagram Stories: instagram.com/OtherlySeries Elaine Is Almost explores the unconditional love between siblings as one sister interviews another on the eves of her 14th and 15th birthdays. Filmmaker Em Yue uses live action mixed with animated sequences to delve into their younger sister Elaine’s awkward early teen years. A conversation on diversity, feelings of anxiety, and the need to find one’s place in the world unfolds and becomes a film about identity, connection, and family ties. The score illustrates the ever-so whimsical yet sincere tone of exploration that’s experienced by Elaine. Interwoven with piano and lofi-ambient elements, the soundtrack aims to capture the emotions within the intimate conversation between Em and Elaine. Directed by: Em Yue instagram.com/emyue2 Produced by: POV Spark (amdoc.org/) and the National Film Board of Canada (nfb.ca/) Elaine Is Almost is part of Otherly, a series of seven short documentaries about belonging, premiering on Instagram Stories.
