I had the opportunity to chat with the highly accomplished composer Ariel Marx after the world premiere of the documentary Rebel Hearts at the 2021 virtual Sundance Film Festival.

Directed by Pedro Kos, Rebel Hearts offers a look at Los Angeles’s Sisters of the Immaculate Heart, the nuns who challenged the patriarchal conventions of the Catholic Church 50 years ago and are still taking a stand today.

In our exclusive interview, Ariel Marx​ talks about creating the dynamic and layered score in only one month, the difference between being a composer vs a musician, and the future of remote recording.​
