John Richards Music and Amy Lindsey Productions did the soundtrack for The Road To Istanbul a documentary film made in partnership with the Teenage Cancer Trust, Silverspun Pictures, and The Dumball Rally. The film is shot in the context of a Dumball Rally throughout Eastern Europe. The Dumball Rally is basically a poor mans Gumball Rally in junk cars for a week long drive from Brussels to Istanbul, with a convoy of 33 teams, and 66+ people taking them through a life changing journey while raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Silverspun Pictures shot this film capturing the lightness and humor contrasted with the devastation and seriousness of teens living with cancer. John Richards Music and Amy Lindsey Productions was fortunate to participate in this project placing music in a way that captures the emotion, excitement, the adventure and the inspiring journeys of these brave young human beings staring cancer in the face. All music was donated gratis license to the film, as were our services.  Below is a list of the music used in the film. Keep checking in as we hope to post clips from the film soon!
