Jana cushman

COMPOSER & MUSIC SUPERVISOR

Jana Cushman is a modern American composer and the front creative force of Portland’s electrohaze/post punk band Darkswoon whose debut LP with Icy Cold Records was released in February 2019. Cushman’s most recent film score and music supervision work includes the feature film ‘My Summer As A Goth’ which has been touring the film festival circuit throughout 2019. The film will celebrate a theatrical release November 18, 2019. Cushman was awarded ‘Best Film Score’ during the Los Angeles premiere at the DTLA Film Festival (October 26, 2019) for this work.

"Jana is a talented musician, a great collaborator and all-around amazing human. Coming from a musical background rooted in goth, shoegaze and darkwave, Jana was the natural choice to create the original score for My Summer as a Goth. Her beautiful score weaved together and amplified the story of first love, broken hearts, grief and re-connection - adding a layer to the final film that is both haunting and inspirational."

--Tara Johnson-Medinger - Director/Producer, My Summer as a Goth
