JAMES BISHOP
C O M P O S E R
Music prodigy James Bishop has never scored a feature film before this one. At age 16, he was producing Grammy winning records with his uncle in Los Angeles. By age 23, he was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada while writing and recording an entire album out in nature. We found him playing strange electronic underground shows in San Diego, CA. During his sets, James basically rotates through playing every instrument on stage. When we asked James his vision for how to shape the score… he wrote a book.
