This past Wednesday evening, the Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL) hosted a screening of the film in Los Angeles, which was followed by a Q&A moderated by composer Christopher Young (Spider-Man 3, The Shipping News) and featuring a panel including Lennertz, as well as music supervisor Robin Urdang, writer/director Stuart Blumberg and producer William Migliore. The participants talked about their collaboration, the minimalist approach for the score and the selection of songs. They also discussed how Lennertz got involved in the project and the limited time schedule ahead of the film’s premiere at last year’s Toronto Film Festival.
