George Shaw:
MARCUS
The Film Music of George Shaw
"Recalls some of the best moments in Williams' and Goldsmith's careers... Marcus: The Film Music of George Shaw introduced me to yet another strong, up-and-coming composer in Hollywood with a voice harking back to the Silver Age of film scoring. It has solid orchestrations, great themes, and enough originality as to be noticeable." - Soundtrack.net
"Shaw's skillful writing makes up for the score's brevity, and the bonus themes are just as memorable." - Rue Morgue
"Doing a little research on IMDB revealed that the budget to Marcus was a mere 100,000. The score sounds like one that was done to a multi million dollar film!" - Golden Scores
This album features George Shaw’s original score from the Award-winning horror film Marcus, directed by Bob Hardison and Rich Robinson. The film won the ”Best Film” honour at the Appalachian Film Festival and the ”Festival Prize” at the Tupelo Film Festival last year. Released on DVD by Warner Bros on March 6, Marcus stars Scoot McNairy, Samantha Shelton, Marc Rose and Jade Dornfeld in a story taking place during Christmas, about a young man who experiences a night of violence and terror when trying to reconcile with his estranged sister.
The music for Marcus is composed by up and coming composer George Shaw, who has also worked as an orchestrator for other film composers, working on the current no 1 US box office hit, Ghost Rider (scored by Christopher Young) as well as Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles (Scott Glasgow) and The Darwin Awards (David Kitay). George’s music for Marcus blends orchestral violence and suspense with thematic material. MovieScore Media’s album also features selections from other film scores composed by George Shaw, including shorts The Loch Ness Monster, The Taking and Under Pressure. In 2006, George Shaw was awarded the Gold Medal for Excellence for Outstanding Achievement in Film Music Composition for Independent Film at the Park City Film Music Festival.
