Project: Under the Moonlight

THE SCENE:

Elsa (38) finds her old friend Frieda (40) frozen to death in a freezer in the old house in the mountains where Frieda spent the last six months alone, to find herself. Apparently she found all she needed to find, to leave this world. Frieda wears only underwear, lipstick, a flower in her hair and she holds an almost empty vodka bottle close to her body. She must have drunken and drugged herself half to death and let the cold do the rest. It was suicide and not surprising to Elsa. She knew Frieda had enough of the world and was ready to leave. But Elsa also knew that her friend wanted to die in the mountains, in the snow under the full moon. Frieda must have been scared that someone else than Elsa would find her body, so she chose the freezer instead. Elsa is fulfilling Friedas last wish and carries her friends body up the mountain to Friedas favourite place. She lays her down on the rocky ground, way above the tree line. Elsa sits down next to her friend and waits for the moon to rise. She’s calm, everything is calm now. 

Piece 1: 

We’re looking for a piece that supports the scene where Elsa opens the freezer and finds her best friend dead. We’re looking for a bit of creepiness, but not too much. It’s dark and painful and Elsa almost pukes when she opens the freezer in the basement of the old house. 

Details:      Piece: Score (composed) or commercial piece (by a band/act)
                    Length: approx 120sec             
                    Language: English or French or Instrumental. Few words if at all. The scene can not be disturbed by lyrics. 
                    Genre: Your choice

Piece 2:

We’re looking for a title piece that will be worked into a montage for the scene where Elsa lays Frieda down and waits for the moon to raise. She’s alone with the dead body. This scene is about Elsa who is conflicted. She understands Friedas wish to die, she hates her at the same time for leaving like that and she is heart broken for her friend that had nothing left to live for, her mind wanders, thinking about her own life and finally finds some piece when the moon rises.

Details:  Piece: Score (composed) or commercial piece (by a band/act)
                Length: approx 120sec
