“I was most fortunate to come into contact with Patrick Dumont;
the film would not be half as powerful without Patrick’s incredibly
emotional and powerful score. He worked tirelessly, for only the
reward of contributing to something he believed in, and that is why
we connected so deeply, because very few people take on this kind
of project, which has little commercial value. But the value of Sita
runs deep, for it speaks to an issue that few people can ignore;
thanks to Patrick, we can tap into the emotional depth of the film
in a spiritual, compassionate way.”
– Kathleen Man, Director |
Winner, Best Score, Gaia Award, Moondance International Film Festival, 2006
