Corkman wins film music award in US
County Cork’s Kim Carroll has won the Gold Medal at Utah’s Park City Film Music Festival, the first event that singularly recognises the contribution of composers to the motion picture industrY.
“Kim Carroll’s score to The Colony clearly demonstrated how much of a vital part of the film it really was,” enthuses Festival Director Leslie Harrow. “It enhanced the emotional impact and was terribly effective in getting across the director’s intentions.”
Based on the disappearance of Boris Weisfeiler, a Penn State professor who vanished while hiking in Chile in 1985, The Colony was written and directed by Steven List, and released last year in the States by Fox Searchlight.
Carroll, a fluent Irish speaker, left Fermoy almost 20 years ago to study in Los Angeles, and also has Crossing Jordan, Cold Case and VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club on his TV and movie C.V.
