Sanctuary

Sanctuary is a composer and visual art collective based in Los Angeles. Sanctuary caresses dark themes with intense visual vignettes and haunting, widescreen music, challenging their audience to join them on an inward journey. The collective’s debut offers a breathtaking body of work featuring live strings, choir, and organ recorded in both Iceland and Los Angeles, and crafts a musical narrative that traverses both sweeping, cinematic spaces and intimate, contemplative ambiences. A self-titled companion short film, SANCTUARY, enlists Chilean-American creative director Elena Flores to explore what a modern classical record feels like if it were visually set in an abstract, contemporary space. SANCTUARY is Sanders' and Flores' debut as co-directors and co-writers, and showcases the work of cinematographer Anna Franquesa Solano (The Farewell, Venus By Water).
