Renee Danielle Montgomery is a champ. She’s a force. She’s Atlanta.
The score follows her rise to stardom and echoes her determination both in sports and community engagement.
Because she’s a professional basketball player, scoring Renee’s story required a strong nod toward sports themes and idioms; drum lines, horns, big bass, etc.
But she is also a political activist and leader beyond the sport. Through cinematic phrasing, motifs, and orchestration, the score develops around her human and political side. Her story is larger and more varied than just the WNBA.
Through numerous collaborations, Ale Cohen and Aaron Drake have found ways to complement each other’s work. Ale’s finger is on the pulse of Los Angeles indie music and Aaron’s is on contemporary film score. However, they both share an affinity with the experimental and avant-garde. This mutual appreciation has helped them hone a language that is both approachable and forward-thinking.
The film starts streaming on October 16, 2024 on ROKU
