CECILIA

Norman, a young nerd, visits a doctor, because he thinks he has challenges with Cecilia. Norman is looking for professional ways to improve the relationship, however is the doctor really capable to help? This amusing short film was produced in less than four weeks (from script to the final cut) and as Dr Frankel says in the film ‘We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are’.

Prof. Stephen Deutsch

: "Titas is an imaginative and skilled composer who possesses a wide range of musical styles combined with a real understanding of how music and images come together. His energy and talent are put to good use in any project he undertakes".

Quote from the Peer Raben Award (2009) jury's statement: "The music is an organical part of this excellently done short film. Petrikis masters the connection between picture and sound in a highly sensitive way. The orchestral score produces a strong atmosphere and draws the audience into the film, being an essential part of the narrative. We'd love to hear this composer's music performed by a real orchestra."

Lithuanian composer Giedrius Kuprevicius writes in his website: "Finally the last Titas work "idenTITy" reached me. Six compositions were published at Star Studio in Rome. I am happy that with each new composition Titas makes a progress and surprises me with new musical ideas". More information at G.Kuprevicius website.

Theatre Director Jonas Jurasas about the music for his play Purge: "It was a sincere teamwork that immersed us into hard work to make this performance. We are pleased the result reached the hearts and minds of the audience".
