“I feel like it’s something that’s really needed during this time,” declares Tena Clark, one of the composers for the television film “The Waltons: Homecoming.” The film is a remake of 1971’s “The Homecoming: A Christmas Story,” the television movie that spawned the CBS drama that ran for nine seasons and won 13 Emmy awards. Check out our exclusive video interview with Clark and co-composer Tim Heintz above.
The project came to the composers through their friendship with the film’s executive producers Sam Haskell and Hudson Hickman. “We all have something very strong in common, and that is that we’re all from Mississippi. So we have this Mississippi bond,” explains Clark. Though the composers were excited about the opportunity — both were fans of the original series — they were initially concerned with the short time frame in which they had to work. However, Heintz argues that the team had to trust their instincts,...
