KINGS PARK documentary feature film
|
Elliot Sokolov has composed and recorded the score for this groundbreaking documentary feature film.
On June 21, 1967, at the age of 17, Lucy Winer was committed to the female violent ward of Kings Park State Hospital following a series of failed suicide attempts. Over 30 years later, now a veteran documentary filmmaker, Lucy returns to Kings Park for the first time since her discharge. Her journey back sparks a decade-long effort to face her past and learn the story of the now abandoned institution that once held her captive.

Join filmmakers Lucy Winer and Karen Eaton as they probe mid-life crisis and our collective fear of aging by enlisting Christine as their fearless, funny and irascible spiritual guide.

Intimate Portrait: Eve (Video)
|
Original Music by Elliot Sokolov. "Intimate Portrait: Eve" tells the Old Testament story of Eve in the Garden of Eden from a feminist perspective. Eve, one of the most notorious figures of all time, is often portrayed as a disobedient, sinful woman, one easily seduced by the serpent of temptation, and a negative influence on her husband, Adam. Narrated by Betty Buckley, this Lifetime program offers a fresh perspective. Rather than a beguiler, Eve is presented as a brave woman, hungry for adventure and a deeper experience beyond the confines of peaceful Eden. Cast out of the garden, she evolves into a pioneer. Via dramatizations and scholarly commentary, this innovative episode redefines an archetype.

UNHCR spot featuring Khaled Hosseini
|
Elliot Sokolov has provided music for 2 PSA's which can be seen on the web.
The spots, produced by Wildlight Productions, feature Khaled Hosseini, author of the internationally best-selling novel "The Kite Runner", and who is now an envoy for the UN Refugee Agency. Earlier this year, Hosseini visited UNHCR camps in eastern Chad where some 240,000 refugees from Darfur are sheltered. The trip was the result of his desire to see first-hand one of UNHCRs most complex operations and to bring wider attention to the Darfur crisis.
