Our Savior’s Lutheran Church is proud to announce that our church musician, Tom Bourcier, is the recipient of the Iowa Motion Picture Association Award for Excellence for Best Original Music Score for his work on the film “Rebirth,” directed by Francesca Soans. The winners were announced at the annual Iowa Motion Picture Awards ceremony on May 1, 2010 at the Downtown Des Moines Holiday Inn.
The IMPA competition features two levels of recognition: awards of achievement and awards of excellence. Awards of excellence go to the highest scoring nominees in class.
More than 140 entries from all areas of the state were received and judged in categories ranging from screenwriting and acting to editing and directing.
The IMPA is a professional organization that works to promote and enhance the talents and skills of Iowa’s film, video and multimedia production community.
“Rebirth” is a 30-minute fiction film, written and directed by Soans and shot on digital video. The film explores the stories of three women: Kalpa, an Indian immigrant; Helen, a Norwegian-American; and Laura, a Mexican-American. The film provides a complex look at race, religion, and politics in a small town in Iowa.
Bourcier holds the master of music degree in composition from Western Michigan University. He teaches at Luther College and has been the church musician at Our Savior’s since February of 2009. He has played two fundraising concerts at the church.
