Music for the tale of an unlikely alien invasion showcases the diverse range of sound Elias is known for.
Award-winning audio shop Elias is proud to be part of the immense talent that has contributed to “The Power Inside,” a landmark social film experience from technology leaders Intel and Toshiba.nnConceived by Pereira & O’Dell, “The Power Inside” follows actors Harvey Keitel, Craig Roberts, Analeigh Tipton, Reid Ewing and Zack Pearlman in the tale of an atypical zombie alien invasion. The main character Neil (Roberts), together with his friends and the help of technology, must discover his “power inside” to defeat a race of extraterrestrials that invade in the unlikely form of moustaches and unibrows on innocent earthlings.nn
nnElias composed all of the music for the blockbuster-class film, shot by Furlined directing duo Will Speck and Josh Gordon of Blades of Glory fame. Having worked together in the past, Speck and Gordon trusted Elias to flex their creative expertise. ECD Brent Nichols led the talents of the entire Elias team, from Jonathan Elias to the newest composers, who all deftly set the tone for the film that range from suspenseful to wildly campy. nnThe Elias collective created a refreshingly original score that showcases a diverse range of genres, from epic string-driven dramatic cues to programming-heavy distortion. The trailer itself starts in with a cinematic orchestral arrangement; then builds into a squall of distorted electronic beats before kicking into a full rock arrangement and back again, seamlessly woven together. nnThis is the third year that Intel and Toshiba have partnered with Hollywood’s top talents to create an immersive film that engages the viewer to participate; with last year’s saga “The Beauty Inside” winning a 2013 Daytime Emmyยฎ award for Outstanding New Approach to Daytime Programming. “The Power Inside” called for viewer participation well before the full debut episode premiered online August 15th, launching with a first look and trailer that invited fans to audition for a chance to be cast in the film. The remaining episodes of the film will be released online each week over a six-week period. nnElias injects “The Power Inside” with a bold, relevant sound, playing an integral part in a groundbreaking moment for the alignment of entertainment, technology and advertising, as well as the future of branded content.

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
