“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.
