Apologies for the blog subject being about amour again. Perhaps the inundation of red and pink colours and the smell of sickly sweet chocolates have succeeded in creating a sensory overload?
I must confess, I’m getting the sense that I may have sent myself on a fool’s mission. The search to find the definition of love – the love that William and Sophia find in With Her (as opposed to the lust women pay Matthew for) – has proven to be infinitely harder than initially thought. Despite consisting of only four Scrabble tiles (achieve a single digit score of merely seven), the meaning doesn’t seem to fit neatly on a board. Even some people who have found that love find it difficult to put into words…but don’t worry, I said some…others have been caught on camera giving wonderful responses…stay tuned…

And moving on to the title track contest. There have been multiple questions regarding the contest and what exactly we’re looking for. So here’s some more direction from With Her writer/director Gerson Peña.
The title song for With Her should embody the essence of the idea behind the film. What is the idea? Well, the idea is this...The things we do to search for love or to at least have something as close to love as possible. This would be the case in the world in which Matthew (the male escort) is a part. These women pay him to give them what they desire - to be wanted, to be told they're beautiful, to have a romantic dinner, to make love. Yes, in some cases these women pay these men because they have no time to date or they're being neglected by someone they're involved with. Whatever the reason, the important thing is that they have that same deep-rooted need that we all do and that's the desire to feel loved, even if it's for one night and not real. Now, if we look at the other part of the idea of the film, which is, how incredible love feels when it is real and you know it's real. There's that connection that is undeniable between two people, it's that feeling when you look at that other person, something deep inside just says yes, yes, yes. It goes beyond the physical and the mental, it stems from the soul. The title song should encapsulate these things and bring them to life musically.
If you still have questions please don’t hesitate to send them to withherfilm@gmail.com, which is also where you can send your With Her songs to in either .WAV or .MP3 formats. And don’t forget, because it’s the title track it must be called “With Her” :)
