When I first began thinking about the music for The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, the core idea was clear: at its heart, this is a modern Frankenstein story. The film blends the language of classic horror with the reality of an inner city world, and the score needed to move between those two spaces. It had to feel grounded in the emotional isolation of the character while still carrying the sense of myth and tragedy that lives inside the Frankenstein tradition.
The music became a reflection of that tension. I leaned into symphonic elements that could give the story a larger, almost tragic scale, while shaping the themes around the loneliness and determination of the girl at the center of the film. The orchestral palette allowed the score to feel both intimate and cinematic, supporting a story that lives somewhere between fantasy, horror, and a deeply personal coming of age journey.
