NARRAGATE MUSIC AMPLIFIES STORY WITH VOICE AND EMOTION
The demos below, written by Donnell, preview original songs created for and featured in Duet, a music-driven character drama. Each track is designed to function both as a standalone work of art and as a revenue-generating asset within the film’s broader portfolio. Together, the songs chart the story’s emotional journey — from loss and longing to hope and healing — while positioning the soundtrack as an additional stream of return alongside the film itself.
A rough-edged barroom tune Ethan belts out early in the film — soaked in whiskey, wit, and working-class despair. This number sets the tone for his broken, restless state.
At a choir rehearsal, Annie sings a raw, soul-piercing confessional. Ethan finds himself spellbound by Annie's performance, finally ready to declare her his duet partner.
Annie records this song at Tiny’s studio for Ethan to take to Nashville. It’s a vulnerable, decisive moment where she claims her own voice, with Ethan championing her to his record label.
Ethan and Annie debut their duet at a local café — a moment of triumph and connection. This hour of joy collides with Ethan's near-fatal car accident, casting doubt on whether hope can endure.
After the café duet, Ethan finds peace in an AM station’s crackling rendition of “Home On The Range.” The night hums with promise — until it meets with fate on a dark country road.
Ethan’s unreleased romantic folk song surfaces during his rehab — a piece that captures the fragility of first love and the faint hope it can survive loss.
Annie and Ethan’s second duet is a tender ballad about the delicate nature of love, revealing that it survives only when both are willing to bend rather than break.
Annie’s turning-point anthem. After Ethan's car accident, she watches him retreat and sings her own truth — a solo that reclaims her strength and reframes their story.
A biting performance that captures Ethan’s pride and the damage of his own name. This number underscores his reputation as both a talent and a self-sabotager.
A recurring melody woven through the story emerges in full as Ethan’s solo. In the final scene, he sings it as a raw confession of love for Annie — his most honest and redemptive act.
The songs above don’t just accompany Duet—they are the heartbeat of the story, carrying its emotional arc and soul. Each track threads directly into the film’s narrative, some featured in pivotal montage sequences, others reimagined and performed by the cast for the screen. For a deeper look, the full pitch deck and investor screener are available by contacting Howard Donnell at howard.donnell@narragate.com.
Beyond the film, Duet expands into music. A companion album—featuring the actors’ performances—will launch in sync with the theatrical release, creating a powerful cross-market experience that reaches both film lovers and music audiences. Demo recordings rendered using AI-assisted vocals and instrumentation as proof of concept, but will be reproduced and recorded using humans artists for the film and soundtrack's LP.
