After many months of composing music to beautifully filmed scenes and crafting an equally compelling soundtrack with the help of an awfully talented network of friends and family, it is my honor and privilege to share the first look at the trailer for KEROUAC’S ROAD: THE BEAT OF A NATION—a new feature documentary directed by @ebsburnough for Ventureland / Universal... COMING TO THEATERS THIS AUGUST!
In addition to featuring inspiring contributions from a cast of characters with and without celebrity, the film includes never-before-seen material from Jack Kerouac’s personal archive as it explores the legacy of his iconic novel On The Road and its continued resonance in today’s America.
Thank you @ebsburnough for entrusting me and mine with the musical responsibilities to assist you and your very gifted team in an exercise of masterful storytelling! Shout out to my brother and companion @bsatz for executive producing this original score & soundtrack.

Last week, it was my honor to attend @Tribeca for the world premiere of "Kerouac's Road: The Beat of a Nation" directed by @ebsburnough for @venture.land + @nbc + @universalpictures
I feel blessed and grateful to finally be able to share this poignant and deliberately co-created, collective effort. It was humbling to experience the film at theatrical scale. To that end, I hope all of you can and will see the film in theaters when it is released (in the U.S. and Europe)!
"Through lyrical cinematography and a soundtrack that captures the rhythmic pulse of Kerouac's prose, the film serves as a meditation on what it means to truly experience the journey rather than simply reaching the destination. "
Ebs, thank you for trusting me with the original score and soundtrack. Thank you to all friends and family who helped me with the heavy lifting. Thank you, @bsatz for 🎶 executive producing the 🔥🔥🔥 . 🫡
