overview
Maggie and Ted follows a young caregiver and a no-nonsense elderly woman as an ordinary care visit turns into something more — a candid, funny, unexpectedly moving conversation about life and loss. Grief runs underneath the whole film, but it's the warmth and humour between the two of them that carries it, leaving the audience laughing one moment and reflecting the next.

approach
The score for Maggie and Ted is built around warmth, intimacy and emotional restraint, reflecting the connection that develops between the two characters. Featuring soft piano, layered strings and mellow woodwind textures, the music was designed to support the dialogue and performances while gently enhancing the film’s themes of connection, humour and loss.
