“One Child Nation” w/score by Halpern and Ruggiero wins 2019 Sundance Grand Jury Prize

Three weeks ago Nathan Halpern and I finished writing and recording the final few pieces of score for Nanfu Wang & Jialing Zhang’s “One Child Nation,” and last night it won the Grand Jury Prize for US Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival. Amazon immediately picked the film up for distribution, which means that many many people will have a chance to see this powerful and heartbreaking film. It is a tremendous honor to be a part of Jialing and Nanfu’s amazing and uncompromising storytelling, and I am thrilled that it will reach a large audience.
