“Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story Of Roy Cohn” w/score by Ruggiero and Halpern: HBO debut

Tonight Thursday June 18 at 9PM: “Bully. Coward.Victim.” will air for the first time on HBO. Nathan Halpern and I scored this outstanding documentary for director Ivy Meeropol, our second collaboration following her award-winning 2015 doc “Indian Point.”

Cohn was an infamous and complicated figure, and Meeropol’s film paints a detailed and nuanced portrait. The incredible, horrible closeness that Meeropol has to Cohn gives her a unique vantage point from which to tell this story.

This was a wonderful project to work on; I got to create music in a variety of styles that I don’t often get a chance to play with in a film context.

“I Am Another You” debuts at SXSW Festival this Weekend, MAR 10

Earlier this year Nathan Halpern and I scored Nanfu Wang’s new film “I am another you.” The film debuts at the SXSW film festival this weekend, and INDIEWIRE just named it “one of 13 must-see films” at the fest. We previously worked with Nanfu on her Oscar-shortlisted doc Hooligan Sparrow , and I am another you will only strengthen her reputation as one of the freshest, boldest new filmmakers out there. I am v v proud of my work on this project; it’s a beautiful and fascinating film and i was able to use a lot of new techniques and sounds for the first time in a production.
