Vietnamese musician writes song for Hollywood film

What It's All About by Thanh Bui, an Australian-Vietnamese singer-songwriter, has been chosen as the soundtrack for Everyday, a film directed by Richard Levine.
The song was co-written by Bui, Alf Touhey and Van Anh Nguyen, members of an Australian-based band called the Artisans.
Bui, who was born in 1983, said they had been working on the song since 2007, trying to capture the meaning of life when a loved one passes away.
Everyday, starring Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt, will be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in April. It premiered in the US in January and was released on DVD earlier this month.
The film, which also co-stars Carla Gugino and Brian Dennehy, is about a family's struggle to survive the unexpected curve-balls that are simply part of real life; ageing and death; commitment and freedom; love and acceptance.
It's an uncompromising look at an ordinary family making an extraordinary journey, towards themselves and towards each other.
