Composer Hans Stiritz has been producing a scoring session all day today to finalize the score for "Where's My Close-up, Mr. Thornton?" Mark Colbert (drums), Keith Lynch (guitars) and uber-producer-musician Barry Poynter (engineer, bass, owner of Poynter Recording) have outdone themselves. Category One's Tim Jackson and Josh Miller have been present throughout the day and could not be more pleased with what Hans has written and how these outstanding musicians are making it come to life. Much of the score rests on the shoulders of Keith Lynch's guitar work. Keep an ear out for the score when the film premieres in Little Rock on May 18.
