Sundance Film Festival 2019: “One Child Nation” and “Tigerland” feature original music by Halpern and Ruggiero

The 2019 Sundance film festival starts today and I am very happy to LYK that I have music in two films debuting in competition this year.

Nathan Halpern and I wrote the score to Nanfu Wang & Jialing Zhang’s “One Child Nation,” which examines the forced sterilizations, child abandonment, and state-sponsored kidnappings that underlay China’s one-child policy. This is the third feature that Nathan and I have scored for Nanfu Wang and I continue to be awed by her uncompromising and completely original film making. Truly an honor to be a part of this must-see film.

I also contributed original music to “Tigerland,” the new film by Oscar-winning director Ross Kauffman. “Tigerland” details efforts to save these legendary animals from extinction, introducing us to fascinating and heroic individuals and breathtaking landscapes.
