A PERFECT PLACE: Film & Soundtrack album by Mike Patton (2008)

A Perfect Place is a black and white tragic comedy short directed, produced, and written by Derrick Scocchera starring Mark Boone Jr. and Bill Moseley, first released on February 2, 2008 at the Lake County Film Festival. It was filmed in entirely in Alameda, Oakland and San Francisco, California under a budget of $50,000.

The soundtrack comprises the third non-aliased solo release by Mike Patton, who wrote, produced and performed all tracks (with the exception of some percussion parts), released on March 11, 2008 under his own Ipecac Recordings with special edition copies of the album being released with a bonus DVD containing the film. The score itself is 10 minutes longer than the film because Patton “got excited” and has been well received by critics with allmusic giving it a four out of five star rating and crediting Patton for the “depth of his orchestral arrangements” calling them “surprisingly mature”.
