Driven
Directed by Irish director Nick Hamm.
Closing film of the 75th Venice International Film Festival and official selection at TIFF 2018.
The film is inspired by the true story of the FBI sting operation to bring down maverick auto executive DeLorean and his iconic DeLorean Motor Company; his friendship with a charming ex-con-turned-informant, Jim Hoffman; and the drug scandal that brought DeLorean low.
Lee Pace (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “The Hobbit”) stars as automotive DeLorean. Jason Sudeikis (“Downsizing”) plays Hoffman. Judy Greer (“Ant-Man“) stars as Hoffman’s wife.
The score reflects the emotional ups and downs of building odd relationships, a company in the mist of failure, and the hard decisions made in the name of vision. All under investigative scrutiny of a court room drama.
Ana

Ana ( Dafne Keen) meets Rafa (Andy Garcia) in a chance encounter and they embark on a road trip to try and save him from bankruptcy, or worse.
The score works on presenting Puerto Rico post Hurricane Maria, giving a dramatic twist to the local instrumentation and rhythms. The music develops as the relationship of two strangers that unknowingly need each other grows when they take on different and difficult life situations together.

Katheryn Winnick is set to play the role of Lillian Aronow, a former Wilhelmina model and the second wife of Aronow and Kellan Lutz, known for the Twilight movies will play a boating rival to Aronow who also smuggles drugs and has ties to the mafia.
The film score portrays 4 decades of musical styles, Miami flavors, and the dramatic component of a man trying to survive a second chance in life while falling in the traps of success and the mob.
