About 2 years ago @xanderrobin approached me about doing some music for a documentary he was working on about python hunting in the Everglades 🐍 as everyone knows anything Florida is usually a no brainer for me and so I agreed and somewhere along the way I realized I would need some help so invited my genius friend @pablo.arrangoiz to help finish what would become the score for The Python Hunt.
Excited to say that you can now see the film in select theatres starting today w a premiere at @angelikafilmny tonight May 8 and more dates to come.
