Soundscape to Freedom- Behind the scenes

Short Film / Process Documentation | 2022

Soundscape to Freedom (Behind the Scenes) is a short film documenting the creative process behind Sounds of Freedom, an EP by musician Eli Fola. The work centers music-making as an act of emotional release and self-definition, capturing freedom as something practiced through sound.

Filmed in Faraway, New York, the project follows moments of experimentation, collaboration, and vulnerability within the studio. Rather than focusing on performance or final output, the film lingers on process—revealing how sound becomes a space for reflection, risk, and expression.

Directed by Kashira Dowridge, the film pairs observational footage with written reflections that consider freedom as both personal and collective. Soundscape to Freedom offers an intimate look at the relationship between sound, process, and creative liberation.
