Original score from the 2007 horror thriller feature film directed by Benjamin Williams, starring Tom Parker, Ana Patricia and Rojo Dee Wallace.

THE STORY: An unworldly, closed-minded American travels to a small village in exotic Chiapas, Mexico at his estranged mother’s behest when his half-sister disappears during a local epidemic of kidnapping attributed to the legendary J-ok’el, the weeping woman who drowned her own babies centuries ago and whose spirit has returned to claim more children for her own.

THE SCORE: Continuing to recognize the George Shaw’s talent, we are now releasing his score for the US-Mexican horror film J-ok’el, co-inciding with the US DVD release on June 24. The score won a Gold Medal for Excellence at the Park City Film Music Festival and was nominated to the 2007 Film and TV Music Award for Best Score for an Indie Feature Film. It is Shaw’s most ambitious project to date. Recorded with the Hollywood Studio Symphony, the orchestral score contrasts beautiful thematic writing with subtle suspense and pounding action. As a bonus, our CD reprises George’s inventive score from Marcus, previously only avaiable as a download.
