The Sensei
The Sensei, written and directed by D. Lee Inosanto, debuted on DVD, Amazon.com, and Netflix on March 9th, 2010. The film stars Keith David, Michael O’Laskey, Louis Mandylor, and Tsi Ma. My orchestral score for the film also features a 10-piece Taiko ensemble as well as the talent of ethnic woodwind artist Nina Harwood.
I cannot tell you how much of a thrill it was for me working on this project. The people who made this film are some of the sweetest in the business, and we’ve all become such close friends.
There is a lot to say about how the music for The Sensei came together, and I gave a pretty detailed account of what went down on one of our earliest SCOREcast episodes. If you want to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an independent feature score, check it out when you get a chance. I'll continue to post updates here as the film rolls out in different formats.
