Canadian filmmaker Sarah Goodman's latest project Porch Stories shares the interwoven stories of neighbours who are connected through the goings-on on each other's porches. It's ready to debut at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto on June 19, but before the film hits the screen, the soundtrack will be arriving on June 16 through Hand Drawn Dracula.
The soundtrack was composed by By Divine Right's José Miguel Contreras and beloved Canadian solo artist Laura Barrett, bringing together a blend of kalimba and Spanish guitar to "create a magical atmosphere."
Tracks like "Morning Bikes," "Trinity Bellwoods" and "Hamburgers, Parades and Questions" seem to solidify the film's Toronto setting, while the 13-song collection is appropriately bookended by "Porch Story" and "Porch Jam."
As previously reported, the duo also make their acting debuts in the film, with Barrett playing Emma (a musician who puts her musical career on hold for marriage) and Contreras taking on the role of Gabriel (Emma's "rootless, couch-surfing" bandmate and ex-lover who shows up on her porch).
