S8 E7 Darkness & Light

The aftermath of Bree’s murder reveals more than just the tragedy of her death; it speaks volumes about the life she led. And may also reveal something about the circumstances surrounding her murder. Thank you to Bree's musical collaborators, Willem Weiss and Don Vaillancourt, for allowing me to use songs they created with Bree in the series. 'Shake it for me, Baby' is the theme song for Season 8. You can hear the song in its entirety on Willem's SoundCloud account . Bree's vocals on 'Wash Me Away' appear in this episode. You can hear the full song on Don's Soundcloud account 'Fields of Presence', Jorge Lozano's film about his daughter, can be found here on Vimeo . Bree's closest friends shared messages and texts she had sent them in the years leading up to her death. The messages help inform Bree's victimology and allow Bree herself to play a more direct role in the series. I've included Bree's words at the start of episodes 2-7. Episode 4 includes a voicemail her friend Don saved. I used a cloned voice created by ElevenLabs for the other messages. This was a decision made in consultation with Bree's former partner, Steve and his daughter, Meleya.
