Storyline
A border agent deals with a close encounter of the 3rd kind splitting reality into multiple timelines. When a UAP flys by a remote border crossing, a lone border agents reality is split into multiple potential timelines. The various actions he takes creates a sound symphony that will be the basis for composer resident, Anthony Wallace’s short film, Borders.


The intention with Borders is to provide imagery that Composer, Anthony Wallace can use to create a lyrical soundscape. Through the use of multiple split screens we will tell a story with alternate timelines of how our border agent could handle the phenomenal experience of an unidentified flying object.


The Slaight Music Residency is an unparalleled creative and business experience for five music creators a year. These music showcase productions are screened for over 400 Industry professionals, are widely promoted and have been instrumental in launching some of the most exciting and prolific screen composers working in our industry today.
