Chris Hajian takes some time to talk about two upcoming documentaries he scored. On April 13, 2012 the Marc Dreier documentary Unraveled opens in select theatres and in May the Sundance Selects documentary First Position will be rolling out in theatres. Chris gives an insightful look into each of the projects as well as documentary scoring as a whole. He also talks about scoring a handful of direct to video Disney sequels and what that entails when a composer jumps into a big name franchise for the home video market. Chris is a great and charismatic guy and his passion for his work speaks for itself.
Marc Simon, attorney, filmmaker, and director discusses his making of the documentary Unraveled. The film explores the downfall of prominent New York attorney Marc Dreier who orchestrated one of the largest securities and money fraud schemes in American history. Marc Dreier admitted his guilt in the massive fraud and was filmed during his final 60 days under presentencing house arrest giving a glimpse inside the mind of a white-collar thief. Called the “Houdini of Impersonation and false documents,” Marc Dreier is now serving a 20-year prison sentence. The extraordinary film revealed how inadequately prepared first-time criminals and their families are for the time of imprisonment, inspiring Andrew Snyder to begin his practice of guiding clients and their families through the complicated and sensitive issues presented by criminal prosecution and incarceration.
