Cosy, steady, gentle documentary, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, tender, hand-scored across twelve axes of taste.
How every film is hand-scored →For more than thirty years, and through his television program, Fred Rogers (1928-2003), host, producer, writer and pianist, accompanied by his puppets and his many friends, spoke directly to young children about some of life's most important issues.
Our read · Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) reads as a cosy, steady, grounded documentary entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
