Some members of the many revolving members of Broken Social Scene took a break last fall from touring to work on other projects.
Now the fruits of their labor are all over the indie film scene of early 2007.
The projects include composing the score for the upcoming indie film The Tracey Fragments, which will debut at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival on February 8.
The film’s main character, Tracy Berkowitz (played by Ellen Page) searches for her brother who thinks he is a dog. The film is based on the acclaimed novel by Vancouver author Maureen Medved.
This is the band’s third score for the year. Their work has also appeared in Bruce McDonald’s film The Love Crimes of Gillian Guess, on the Wicker Park soundtrack and for Clement Virgo’s film Lie With Me and the upcoming film Snow Cake, which is already receiving critical acclaim.
In addition, they scored the indie film Half Nelson starring Ryan Gosling as an inner city teacher with a drug addiction.
Gosling, who joined Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in the early 1990’s as Mouseketeers, is an Academy Award winner and has also appeared in movies like The Slaughter Rule, Murder by Numbers, Remember the Titans, The United States of Leland, The Notebook, and The Believer.
