Shawn Christensen, the writer, director and actor behind Oscar-winning short film Curfew, will release “Sophia So Far,” a full-length version of the film’s central song, on April 23, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Christensen will release the track, which appears in the short film’s pivotal scene, digitally via +1 Records and under the name Goodnight Radio. The filmmaker has also confirmed that Curfew, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2012 and won Best Live Action Short at the Oscars in February, will be made into a feature film this summer.
Christensen, the former frontman of New York rock band stellastarr*, wrote, directed and starred in Curfew, a 19-minute film about a drug addict’s relationship with his nine-year-old niece (played by Fatima Ptacek). The musician and filmmaker penned the focal track by default, forced to compose something when the song he hoped to use fell through.
