The film's musical score revolves around arrangements on Franz Gruber's classic sacred song, "Silent Night." The underscore cues are orchestral with blues influence. Skip Waring (trumpet) and Risa Larson (soprano) are the featured soloists.

3Films 3Visions

3 Films 3 Visions has come together for the production of three short films in the Greater Seattle area. Each film is written and directed by local Black filmmakers. This project is distinct because it is a sterling example of community filmmaking. The filmmakers have pooled all of their resources together and are united in making the project a success. Money, locations, crew, equipment, and in some case actors, have all been leveraged together to give this venture every advantage. Additionally, this project highlights an underrepresented segment of not only, the northwest film community, but the film industry as a whole.

Three Black filmmakers coming together for a project of this magnitude will definitely shine a positive light on an industry that has consistently been plagued with the issue of diversity. Our filmmakers are Alen Blake, Winfield Ezell, Jr. and Bryan Johnson. Each filmmaker serves as writer, director and producer of their individual shorts and acting as producers for the other films. The production team of Petra Baylon, Leroy Mack and Sharon Williams round out the community filmmaking group.
