(Los Angeles) Prolific gold and platinum Los Angeles based singer/songwriter Harriet Schock is lending her narrative talents to the latest film directed by cinematic auteur Henry Jaglom. The feature, titled Irene in Time, is centered on the complex relationships between fathers and daughters, and the potential lifelong consequences of these complex bonds. Schock’s contributions include four songs she performs on screen in conjunction with the film’s star, Tanna Frederick.
The project evolved when Frederick joined the songstress and her band onstage at the venerable Los Angeles listening room Genghis Cohen. When Henry Jaglom attended the performance, he was inspired to create a film utilizing the songs as commentary. In addition to the quartet of on screen performances, Schock’s song “Dancing With My Father” from her American Romance CD is reprised, and the songwriter also appears on camera in multiple scenes.
Having previously contributed songs and underscore to the director’s Going Shopping and underscore to Hollywood Dreams, Irene in Time marks Schock’s third collaboration with Jaglom. Schock recalls their initial conversation. “He said, ‘I make movies because I can’t write songs,’ and I said, ‘I write songs because I can’t make movies.’”
Schock is currently completing production on her seventh studio release, Breakdown on Memory Lane, recorded with a stellar cast of Nashville musicians. “The title song is about remembering someone and being uplifted and paralyzed at the same time by that memory,” she says. In addition, she and Jaglom are also in discussions about another forthcoming film, Queen of the Lot.
Schock notes that she and Henry Jaglom share an artistic vision that is “…intensely personal. I’m not embarrassed to share something in lyrics that other women — or men – might confess, ‘I would never say that, but it’s exactly how I feel.’ Henry makes those kinds of films.”
