Bliss! - A Film by Rita Osei

"Teenager Tasha Robson is a strong-willed young girl who learns that her mother's partner, Charlie, is not her real father. When her older sister, Jenny, tells Tasha of a man only referred to as 'The Viking' who appeared when Tasha was a baby, she becomes convinced this mysterious 'Viking' is her long-lost father and resolves to track him down. As Tasha begins her quest to find her father on the ferry to Norway, life takes unexpected turns back home. Jenny has moved into her own flat, and the only son in the family, Danny, struggles with the prospect of becoming a father. Landing in Norway Tasha befriends Marta, a local girl who agrees to help her find her father. But will she find him and what will happen to her family while she is away?"

This has been a wonderful creative journey for the Bliss team. Culminating in a critically acclaimed film which will get a general release through iTunes tomorrow Monday 24th September.

​The success of Bliss the movie is very much due to the sum of it’s parts. In the directing, writing, acting performances through to production and post production. The importance of music in film cannot be stressed upon enough, indeed film soundtracks have been with us for a long time now and we all have our favourites.

Recording

Recording of the Score took place in Los Angeles and the orchestra was conducted by 'The Queen of Games Music’ - Eímear Noone.
(Notable because this is traditionally a very male dominated area of film, along with most other areas..)
