“While it was composer Fraya Thomsen who was nominated by Underwire (and won) for the stirring music she wrote to accompany Sam Firth’s Stay The Same, this experimental poem is a collaborative effort. Freya’s swelling strings recall Behn Zeitlin and Dan Romer’s majestic score for Beasts Of The Southern Wild; her music is imbued with a real sense of magic. This score, when coupled with Sam’s remarkably expressive face, is something quite extraordinary. Sam recorded herself every day for one year at exactly the same place and time on the coast of Scotland – and the result is an emotive poem that explores hope, joy, pain and longing with heartfelt intensity. Look out for her forthcoming feature film project, The Story Of Me And You, which recently won a special commendation prize in the Wellcome Trust screenwriting competition and is now in development with the BFI, Creative Scotland and Stray Bear Productions.”
