Music in One Week

A number of people have been accessing my entry on the fabulous music in Michael McGowan's 'One Week'. As a follow-up to that posting in January I'd like to suggest that you visit the 'One Week' website to get a further listing of the soundtrack entries with samples and Itunes links.

The website has plenty of other nice features including a map of all the stops in the film and great photos.

On a side note, the great Canadian film C.R.A.Z.Y. had an awesome soundtrack of fairly well known songs. The budget for that soundtrack was $600 000 almost 1/3 of the whole budget of One Week. The cost of their soundtrack was so much that the producers couldn't approve it so the writer/director cut his own salary to cover the cost. As it was, he wasn't able to get all his desired choices as some of the other songs he wanted were even more prohibitably priced. The $600 000 was only for screenings in Canada and as a result the film was never screened in the U.S.

Michael McGowan deserves great credit for obtaining such an amazing soundtrack on a relatively small budget.
