TheBatterySoundtrackCoverThe Battery: Original Score by Ryan Winford is now available here at Bandcamp. Includes 28 tracks for just $5, with the score from the film plus tons of unused music and a few surprises mixed in. All music remixed and remastered for this release.

This is for the original, instrumental score for indie zombie movie The Battery.

Some notable tracks that didn't make it into the final film, but are some of my favorites, are listed below:

[bandcamp width=100% height=42 album=2505217011 size=small bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 track=3461971688]

These songs were not used either due to time restraints, their scenes being cut, or just not fitting the overall tone of the final film, but some of them, especially "Ben & Mickey" really strike a chord with me. It's great to see them finally see the light of day.

ToolsofIgnoranceImageOur zombie film The Battery is being released on Blu-ray and DVD by Scream Factory September 16th in the US. The special features on the disc will include a feature commentary track, outtakes reel, music featurette, and a full-length documentary about the making of the film.

The-Battery-CrewWe spent over six months editing the documentary, entitled Tools of Ignorance: The Making of The Battery. It was a labor of love and we didn't really know if it was going to make it onto the disc or if it would ever be seen while we were making it. The doc utilizes behind-the-scenes footage that was shot every day on the set during shooting plus interviews with all of the filmmakers shot over a year later for perspective. It tells the whole story starting with how we got started making amateur movies back in high school to how Jeremy Gardner got the gang back together to make another movie almost twelve years later.

Watch as we struggle through all the stages of making an independent film: through writing, casting, production, post-production, and release. "It's been a total fucking dream."

In addition to the Blu-ray and DVD release in the United States on September 16th we're hoping to release the documentary as an online download for our international friends that cannot get it on a disc. Check out http://thebatterymovie.com in September for more details.
