Grace Surpasses was built and filmed not only for film festivals/DVD sales, but also for live performances. The score to our film Grace Surpasses is extremely powerful and greatly compliments the films non-verbal dialogue state. Seeing the film projected with a live band interacting with the story of the film is an experiment we’re glad to take on knowing that this mixed media performance will raise many eyebrows. We’re always looking for new bands to take on Grace Surpasses and adapt the score to their genre. Please see the “Band Inquiry” tab to learn more.
