Melora Hardin

Melora Hardin gives us a look at the soundtrack for her directorial debut, You, and offers up some personal playlist selections

A Taste:

Paula Cole, Colin Hay, Sweet Talk Radio, Joni Mitchell

As her directorial debut, You is a milestone for Melora Hardin. It’s also the start of something very beautiful.

The film remains poignant, powerful and passionate, exploring love and loss through searing drama and some flourishes of heartfelt comedy. You tells the story of a widower who continues to keep his wife’s memory alive in his imagination while raising his daughter alone. It’s a truly enigmatic piece of cinema that illuminates Melora’s talents on and behind the camera.

Music is an extremely important part of You, so Melora decided to give us a tour of the soundtrack and some personal playlist selections.

Check out her playlist below and visit Youthefilm.com to purchase Melora’s first masterpiece!

Melora Hardin’s Playlist:

1. Paula Cole — “You (Once Tomorrow, Now Yesterday)”

Paula is one of my best friends, and she wrote “You” as the title track for the film. It’s a beautiful song. As of right now, the only way to hear it is to purchase You from our web site, or download it from iTunes or Amazon. However, you don’t get all the DVD extras from iTunes and Amazon, which includes “the making of documentary” and a bit with and about Paula. If you’re a fan you might want the full DVD!
