Notes Bertelmann: “Working with Michael Showalter on Verity was a great pleasure. I felt the film should be based on a longer musical theme that I’d composed right at the start, when I saw the first shot of the house where Verity lives, and I used this theme in many variations throughout the film. I also really enjoyed the horror aspect of the film, which allowed me to experiment with a wide range of instruments. I also had the privilege of recording the entire film score in Los Angeles, which I thoroughly enjoyed! I’m absolutely delighted to be part of this film.”
