“I saw a screening of an early cut of the film and was deeply moved,” Peacock explains. “This indie film looks great and has a very strong cast and script.  But, most importantly, it communicates in real-life language and emotion to the high school audience it seeks to reach.  It also has the unique ability to entertain and make viewers think.  That’s why I’m involved and giving my time to this project.”


Peacock is known for his artistic integrity and is a sought out mentor to many musicians, producers and storytellers.  He is often noted as a unique musical and lyrical voice, intelligent, innovative and difficult to categorize.  “Charlie will bring great sensitivity and intuition to the film,” says Jim Britts, screenwriter/producer. “We are so thrilled to have him on board and I’m excited to see the creativity he will bring to the film.”

To Save a Life is an indie film about the real life challenges of teens and their choices. The film stars Randy Wayne (The Dukes of Hazard, Foreign Exchange, The Last Hurrah), Deja Kreutzberg (CSI Miami, Law and Order, Hope and Faith), and Kim Hidalgo (Ball Don’t Lie, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Scrubs).  Directed by Brian Baugh (The Ultimate Gift, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Lost Medallion.)

As music supervisor, Peacock has a definite vision for a project of this nature.  He states,  “Music is such a pivotal part of teen life and culture  – and it’s an important part of this film.  I’m committed to having the music for the film reflect the independent nature of the film makers and of the viewers who will be attracted to the story.”

To Save a Life was shot in Oceanside, California and is produced by New Song Pictures. Set for a fall release, the film is currently securing distribution.  The trailer can be viewed at the official website www.tosavealifemovie.com
