A Cancer Story
A Cancer Story
Director: Praveen Zacharias
Role: Composer
It was a real pleasure collaborating with director and animator Praveen Zacharias on this deeply personal and moving animated film, composing an original cinematic score to support its sensitive exploration of cancer and the emotional journey from denial to acceptance.
Drawing inspiration from composers such as Thomas Newman, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, we explored a musical approach that balanced intimate, reflective moments with more atmospheric and emotionally powerful passages. The aim was to create a score that not only complemented the animation but also helped communicate the character's inner struggles, vulnerability and eventual sense of hope.
Working closely with Praveen, the music became an important part of the storytelling, helping to express emotions that words alone could not convey. It was a particularly rewarding project, demonstrating how music can bring depth, empathy and emotional authenticity to a deeply personal story.
