I've recently scored this short documentary film, and the story was very close to my heart.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not Worth Killing tells the story of the unlikely friendship between Sister Lillian Oliver, IHM, and Mitchell Rutledge, a convicted murderer serving life without parole in an Alabama state penitentiary. It is a story of one man's transformation and the immense impact and influence one person can have on another's life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a teenager, I used to think a lot about the death sentence and what it meant, reading and watching films about it. It occupied my thoughts as I was maturing and focusing my views around values, humanity, and compassion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since this subject is close to my heart, it was a deep experience for me to work on this film. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel it shows a moving and thought-provoking perspective on how complex it is to be human.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The film has been presenting in festivals around the USA this past month and is the Official Selection – best documentary award of the Films In Focus international film festival.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you can catch it online I would recommend it, and I would also love to hear your thoughts about it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

< Just a teaser, I will be releasing the soundtrack later this year. Date yet to be chosen, I'll update here. >⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
