I played drums/cymbals on Dan Romer’s score in this film. Coming soon to a theater near you. So proud of Dan and Benh for kicking butt at Sundance. Click the image for the full story.

“After several days of accelerating heat, U.S. rights to Benh Zeitlin’s debut film Beasts of the Southern Wild have been acquired by Fox Searchlight. Most of the major indie distributors — The Weinstein Co., Sony Pictures Classics and Focus Features among them — sought to pick up the gritty, elliptical drama, which had its world premiere Friday at the Eccles Theatre. Oscilloscope and IFC Films also were involved in bidding. Fox Searchlight will release Beasts this year.”

This is the film I just scored. It’s called Beasts of the Southern Wild. A bunch of my friends played the music with me. Go see it when it comes to your town!

My friend Dan Romer (Drawing Number One) scored this film, “Beasts Of The Southern Wild,” by our other friend Benh Zeitlin, and I (along with some other friends - SEE ABOVE) played percussion and “dulcimer” on the score!    SO AWESOME, RIGHT?!?!?

You know what else is awesome?? They just came back from #SUNDANCE, where they kicked FOX SEARCHLIGHT so hard in the face that they had to buy the film!

CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS!!!

(So, should I expect royalties, or…?)
