It is a fantastic show. You will laugh, you will cry, and hopefully tap your feet. Look for it wherever you get your pods.

 

 

Moontown Sounds in "Funny Face" 

We were thrilled to write and produce a custom track for Funny Face, a short film by Jude Hope Harris and Krista Fatka.

Director Jude Hope Harris recreates the time her brother and girlfriend first met in this autobiographical dramedy where her family plays versions of themselves. Sophie arrives home from 10 hours of facial feminization surgery in a haze of pain and anesthesia. Waiting for her are Morgan, her queer actor girlfriend, and Randy, her country singer brother – both just starting to get to know each other. As Sophie recovers, Morgan and Randy unite against a tragically unhelpful home nurse Donna, their common enemy on a difficult night made bearable with humor, love, music, and weed.

We were excited to attend the Funny Face world premier at SXSW!
