Late last year Nathan Halpern and I scored this excellent film by director Bing Lui and it is now in theaters and streaming online via Hulu. “Minding The Gap” debuted at Sundance this year, winning the ‘Breakthrough Filmmaking Award,’ and it is an exceptionally bold and honest American coming-of-age story. The critical response has been exceptionally strong, with many critics making special note of our score:
“…the music and mood attain a melancholy perfection” (The Wall Street Journal)
“The score by Nathan Halpern and Chris Ruggiero is sparse and beautiful and perfect” (Chicago Sun-Times)
“an odyssey… cut to Nathan Halpern and Chris Ruggiero’s achingly beautiful score” (Vulture)
“… owes its goose-bump-inducing power in part to Nathan Halpern and Chris Ruggiero’s swirling piano score” (Variety)
“Watching the men skate during the opening credits sequence, propelled by Nathan Halpern and Chris Ruggiero’s wistful piano score, the act of skating transforms into a liberating art form” (Forbes)
Our original score is available to hear now on Spotify, Apple music, and all the other usual digital platforms.
