Dan Deacon Instagram – Hi! I’m super excited to announce that the eight-part @independentlens Original Series Philly D.A. begins tonight!
This amazing story was a very consuming project to score and it really helped me grow as a composer. This is my first time scoring a television series and I’m so thankful to be a part of this epic 8-part film. Thanks so much to filmmakers @tedpasson @nas54321 @yonibrook for pushing me to go further and to explore new musical areas and thank you to producer @wookified for carrying me over all 8 finish lines and covering for me when I would sneak off to camping at the beach in the dead of winter.
The series is a raw behind the scenes look at the American criminal justice system in action in a major US city. The story focuses on Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner to explore the life’s work of progressives and activists to create equity and equality within the legal system. It also looks at the plentiful and well-fortified roadblocks setup by those that oppose the ideologies of progressives and activists.
The official PR blurb is “His promise to use the power of the District Attorney’s office for sweeping reform is what got civil rights attorney Larry Krasner elected. Go inside the tumultuous first term of Philadelphia’s unapologetic D.A. and his team of outsiders as they attempt to change the criminal justice system from the inside.”
