Film Music Reporter

J. Ralph is composing the music for the upcoming documentary Jim. The film is directed by Brian Oakes and centers on the life and work of American journalist James Foley, who was killed by ISIS terrorists in 2014. Seen through the lens of his close childhood friend, the movie follows Foley as he moves from the front lines and devastated neighborhoods of Syria into the hands of ISIS. Eva Lipman and George & Teddy Kunhardt are producing the project. J. Ralph’s previous scoring credits include Lucky Number Slevin, The Cove and last year’s Meru and Racing Extinction. He also received an Academy Award nomination for writing the song Before My Time from the documentary Chasing Ice. Jim will premiere later this month in competition at the Sundance Film Festival
