Details:
The Receipt tells the story of two college seniors, Evie and Norah, who as they enter their final year of college begin to feel the weight of uncertainty about their respective futures. By a happy chance, and some instigating on the part of Norah, Evie suddenly falls for Thomas, a recent college graduate working at a resort restaurant for the summer as a waiter. The new relationship begins to make the shy Evie more open and outgoing, but as she spends more and more time with Thomas, Norah, nervous about her and Evie's futures and about the prospect of her friendship with Evie collapsing, becomes jealous and insecure, leading to conflict and betrayal. The Receipt is a story of friendship, romance, loyalty, forgiveness, and coming to realize who we are and becoming comfortable with ourselves and with those who care about us.

This is the first feature film, produced entirely by University of Virginia students, to have a full length original soundtrack. At over fifty minutes of music, this album represents the same percentage of score to film as one would find in a typical Hollywood film. Recurring themes parallel the moods and personalities of the three primary characters, orchestrated principally on a small chamber orchestra. The capstone piece, "In Any Way I Can", summarizes the bonds of friendship between Norah and Evie and features a full sized orchestra accompanying the vocal talents of Annie and Elyse Steingold. All music was composed, orchestrated, and mixed by Kyle Ringgenberg.
