Brett McCutcheon, a North Allegheny HS/Slippery Rock University alum and band instructor at Mt. Lebanon HS, is a young composer whose life was forever changed by the sudden loss of his older brother, Ryan. Channeling his grief, he produced a 5-track EP that is the backbone of this moving 40-minute tribute. Director Jennifer Schlieper seamlessly weaves together Brett’s personal video diaries, interviews with family and friends, and footage of musicians from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra who bring Brett’s songs to life. The Ocean – Five Years is an uplifting experience that reaffirms the power of music as an instrument for healing.
