A Tuesday In The Life

by Doreen Ringer Ross

Got up early and went down to Park City TV to do an interview about BMI and The Sundance Composer Lab and our composer/director roundtable here at the festival.  Alex Wurman (who scored “The Nines” in the festival…and was an advisor at the lab this past summer) and Adam Gorgoni (who scored “Starting Out In The Evening” in the festival) joined me there and, even without coffee, we all did fine…although there is something about that experience that always feels a bit like a SNL skit to me.  Afterwards we all got into my rental-car-blue SUV and went to what is now called “Squatters” for breakfast.

I am not sure that is the best name for a restaurant…but…composers George S. Clinton and Ed Shearmur joined us there along with Scott Holtzman from Disney and agent Randy Gerston. The food was good, the sun was shinning, and the coffee was poured.  It’s always nice to be out early in the morning here because the streets are still relatively quiet and beautiful.  After breakfast I came back to our condo on Main Street to try and write for a bit before Linda and I took off to see “Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten”....a documentary about Joe Strummer and the Clash lovingly made by Julien Temple. We met up with BMI’s Tracie Verlinde there….all Clash fans.  From there we scrambled over to The Eccles to catch Hal Hartley’s smart and funny film “Fay Grim” which he scored himself.
