Joseph DeBeasi Adds Poignant Dimension to ‘American Sniper’
Through his powerful underscore, Broadcast Music, Inc. composer Joseph DeBeasi adds poignant dimension to Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper, which is based on the true story of Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle. DeBeasi’s original composition creates a captivating emotional undercurrent that complements the moving narrative.
The film has proven to be a commercial and critical success, earning $105.3 million at the box office during the four-day Martin Luther King weekend. It was also nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Bradley Cooper).
