Netflix Movie “Candy Jar” Instrumentals Recorded At Forge

Candy Jar, a Netflix original film, was released April 27, 2018. Composer Ryan Leach chose Forge Recording to record live strings and piano for the film’s score.

Candy Jar depicts two dueling high school debate champs who, though at odds on just about everything, team up to win a national debate competition. Candy Jar stars Jacob Latimore (The Maze Runner) and Sami Gayle (Vampire Academy) as well as Christina Hendrix (Mad Men, Good Girls), Uzo Aduba (Orange is the New Black), Helen Hunt and Tom Bergeron.

The score for Candy Jar was recorded by Lead Engineer Ron DiSilvestro and mixed by John Rodd (Get Out, The Day After Tomorrow). Piano was performed by Alex Posmontier, who recorded his album Coast to Coast at Forge Recording. The string players were violinists Lydia Veilleux and Margaret Dziekonski, violist Lorenzo Ravel and Cellist Julia Morelli.
