Carlos D: Film + TV Composer


Carlos D + his Italian Greyhound Gaius, getting the much deserved attention

Interpol bassist and self-styled “film and TV composer” Carlos D (a.k.a Carlos Dengler) is a busy man. He’s been touring internationally with Interpol in support of its new disc Our Love to Admire, and resently Dengler finished the first leg of work on an independent film being shot in the Chicago suburbs.

The six-day shoot was for the insipidly-titled thriller My Friends Told Me About You (a working title I hope), which Dengler is producing, starring in and, most likely, scoring. Dengler and the film’s director, 23-year-old Chicagoan Daniel Ryan—who previously directed Golgotha, a short film written and scored by Dengler . A source on the film’s crew says Dengler is playing a “bad drug dealer.” Not “bad” as in badass, though. “Bad” as in bumbling. (At one point, Dengler’s character gets duped by the oldest trick in the pot-pusher handbook: subbing oregano for the ganj.)

The plot details I currently have are scant, but the story involves men in butcher costumes, lots of blood, a spooky hotel (the Mayflower Motel in Clarendon Hills), a greasy-spoon diner (Uncle Bill’s in Roselle) and a creepy little boy in a little suit in the mold of The Omen’s Damien (oh god, another terrible take?). Dengler and crew will be shooting more of the film in August.

I'll keep you posted as soon as I know more. Thank you Timeout Chicago
