Barefoot | The Mark Baumer Story
BAREFOOT is a portrait of Mark Baumer, a writer and activist who walked barefoot for over 100 days to protest climate change. In a voice The New Yorker praised as "reminiscent of Andy Kaufman", Baumer narrates his walk in self-recorded videos, sharing his offbeat take on life and how we all can make a difference.
As a composer on such a touching, sensitive, and meaningful piece I worked tirelessly with director Julie Sokolow to strike the perfect balance of entertaining, inspiring, and provocative. The hard work of this collaboration created over an hour of original music ranging from electronic to folk, to orchestral, to downright silly to fulfill the final vision of this film.
