“It was a pleasure working on the music with Amanda Sodhi for her film ‘The Dance Of Death,’� said Ravi Iyer. “A great film indeed, and I wish her success with this film in the future. Working on a short film was definitely exciting and challenging at the same time as the message to get across has to be achieved in a shorter time frame. So working on the theme music to substantiate the story line was really interesting for me to work upon. Unlike a feature film where you have ample time and space to play around with the music, in case of a short film one needs to be tight and precise in putting across the message of the film.� Iyer is in the process of releasing his solo fusion album with his project titled VRavi-Guitar Fusion.

“’The Dance of Death’ marks my debut as a director, so the film is very dear to me,� said Amanda Sodhi. “The film has very few dialogues and Ravi’s score along with Damian Parada’s sound mixing and sound design has really breathed life to the film.� Sodhi previously co-wrote award-winning filmmaker Rohit Gupta’s feature film “Life! Camera Action…� for which she shared a nomination in the “Best Screenplay� category with him at the World Music & Independent Film Festival this year.

“The Dance of Death� features many critically acclaimed Los Angeles based actors including Puja Mohindra (“Happy Feet 2,� “Indian Fish in American Waters,� “Foreign,� “Silhouettes,“ “CSI: Miami�), Rahul Nath (“Compromise,� “Nischay Kar Apni Jeet Karoon,� “Hotel Hollywood,� “Provoked,� “Naina�; Ad films for Virgin America, State Farm Insurance, Nintendo, Intel), Shruti Tewari (“Love Aaj Kal�), Samira Saha (“Hotel Hollywood�), Thomas Tevana (“Dostana,� “Jo Bole So Nihaal,� “Khushboo,� “JAG,� “One Life to Live�), Paul Singh, Laikh Tewari and Sitara Attaie. The films’ crew includes Arani Sen (“Til Death Do Us Part,� “6 Women�) as the director of photography, Mark Thomas Lickona (“Chaotic,� “Alphonse�) as the editor, and Damian Parada (“Horton Hears a Who!�) as the sound mixer, sound editor and sound designer.
