Dear Daughter: A Screening and Discussion with Composer Michael Gaffney

Dear Daughter, co-Directed by Rob Underhill and Vanessa Neff, is a short film and a mother’s tribute to her daughter, and a reflection on how the love for her evolved throughout the years.

Michael Gaffney has a degree in Music Production and Recording Arts from Elon University and a Film Music Composition from UNC School of the Arts. In 2018 he scored music and was the sound effects mixer for Compete, a powerlifting documentary. He was the recording and mix engineer for the Oscar qualifying short film Grab my Hand: A Letter to my Dad, and has engineered records for Bennty, 2nd Today, Hiding from Helicopters, Sophie Adams, and other artists. Most recently he has had music featured on CNBC’s Super Heists. His first feature film, Those Who Call, is on Amazon and Tubi TV, and he has scored music for the narrative short Dear Daughter, which is currently on its festival run.
