Anne Chmelewsky is a composer and writer for screen and stage. She has writing music for Mark Weeden's feature film Only People (2018), Sofian Khan's Do We Belong (The Atlantic Selects 2018) and An Act of Worship, (Field of Vision 2017), as well as the Emmy & Golden Globes nominated Derek (dir. Ricky Gervais, Netflix / C4). One of Anne Chmelewsky’s most recent projects has been for the feature film, WHERE HANDS TOUCH, which debuted at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2018 and is directed by Amma Asante.

The film is set in 1944, where a 15-year-old girl, daughter of a white German mother and a black African father, meets a member of the Hitler Youth. They become bound by the realization of the horrors being committed around them.

In this episode, Anne Chmelewsky talks about how she captured the two most important ideas of the film within her score: identity and love; not only writing individual themes for each but composing a delicate yet powerful interaction between the two. She also reveals how some efficient use of left-over time in a string recording session ended up helping to get her hired onto this important feature film project.
