Doin’ It In The Park: The Creative Journey - Episode 3 "The Soundtrack"

  • 12 years ago
In Episode 3, "Doin' It In The Park: Pick-Up Basketball, NYC" co-directors Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau discuss their approach towards the film's music score, which includes songs by the Blackbyrds, Eddie Palmieri, The Roots, Jurassic 5, 20Syl (C2C/Hocus Pocus), and the Quantic Soul Orchestra, among others.

The first-time filmmakers succeeded in providing a fresh and diverse soundscape, ranging from World to Jazz to Latin to Afro, incorporating indie acts like Tato Torres Y Yerbabuena as well as extremely well-known ones, including nine-time Grammy Award winner Eddie Palmieri (who wrote completely original compositions inspired by the film's action, which he had never done in his career before).

"The film was made by a community of ballplayers," says co-director Bobbito Garcia, who was the film's music supervisor. "The score was made by a community of musicians, who were really supportive and showed us a lot of love."

Stay tuned for more episodes revealing Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau's creative process in making the Audience Award Winner for Best Feature Film at the Urbanworld Film Festival 2012!
