Paul Brill is a three-time Emmy Award nominated songwriter and composer. After scoring dozens of award-winning films, plays, podcasts and tv series, his songwriting passion reawakened with a fury and led to his wildly ambitious new musical breakthrough/breakdown: The Cost of Believing - a theatrical lyric-ballet, song-cycle, fever-dream bound soon for a stage of some making. Written, recorded and produced in a matter of weeks, The Cost of Believing is an examination of physical and emotional isolation, the lengths we travel to find fulfillment, and the revival we confront in the pursuit of the promise of light.
