The 27 Club, an independent drama starring Joe Anderson (Across the Universe) and Alexie Gilmore (Nicky's Game), gets an original score by Michael Tremante. He is an up and coming composer who started out in the business as a member of Howard Shore's team (he co-produced scores such as Spider and Panic Room), and who has scored a lot of shorts and documentaries in the past three years. The 27 Club is directed by Erica Dunton, who previously hired Tremante to score Find Love in 2006 and Red Means Go in 2005. The composer also has the scores for Chris J Ford's The Village Barbershop and Carl T Evans' Frame of Mind coming up.
