Music composed by Peter Deneff Directed by Kevin Swigert, the full-length feature film "Love of Life," is based on a short story of the same name by Jack London. The adaptation, written by The Village's Robert Gregg, of Escanaba, Michigan, and directed by Kevin Swigert, Sun Valley, Idaho, was shot on location in the interior of Alaska where the original story took place. The plot focuses on a gold miner from 1899 who leaves his claim late in the year, is abandoned by his partner, and must survive the hardships of Alaska to make it back to his fiancé in Fairbanks. Over the course of the film, the starving man becomes delusional and in the end he struggles not only against the wilderness, but also against himself to survive. The tag line for the motion picture is "Where there's life, there's hope." Peter Deneff of Los Angeles composed the music for the motion picture. Deneff was chosen out of 127 composers from 18 countries who applied for the chance to write the film's musical score. Executive producers include Robert Schellenberg, Ken Meshigaud for the Hannahville Potawatomi Community, and Jeff and Rosalie Naser.
