9 Years to Neptune
Åström wrote music for the first season of 9 Years to Neptune for BYUtv. The show is a unique sci-fi comedy with puppets, structured in a documentary style similar to shows like “The Office”. You can watch the teaser here:
Internment
Åström wrote the original music score for the Albanian/American co-production Internment. The feature film is directed by Kast Hasa and produced by Cinekast Production.
Internment follows an Albanian family that struggles to survive the communist regime during the 1980s. It stars Klod Hoxha, Enxhi Cuku, Kristi Baçi, Kristaq Pilo, Toni Osmani and Gramos Gashi. The film is based on true events.
The soundtrack album is available to buy on Amazon, iTunes, and other online distributors.
Hopeful – The Story of Maineworks
Åström recently completed the original score for the feature documentary ‘Hopeful – The Story of Maineworks’.
This is the compelling story of Margo Walsh, who literally built a business from her kitchen table, as a single mother of two. Her company, MaineWorks, exclusively employs ex-cons and people in recovery. We meet many of her employees and hear their stories of hope. We hear from Governor Janet Mills and Senator Angus King, who point out how Margo’s model is ripe for both state and nationwide roll-outs. Maine Works is already operational throughout Maine and expanding into five other states. Margo was part of the discussion for staffing for the future, as the Infrastructure bill worked its way through Congress; hopeful itself, though at this point with less seeming hope than her company gives to its employees. This is an uplifting portrait of an American entrepreneur with a social conscience. Margot and her work give people a second chance to rebuild their lives, and a pathway back to the community and redemption.
Produced by Ian McCrudden and Thomas Hildreth.
