One of the most frequent comments I get about the movie at festivals is about our music. It seems everyone loves the incredible group of songs that Music Supervisor Dondi Bastone collected for our soundtrack and the quirky underscore composer David Michael Frank created just for SHERMAN'S WAY.
While deleting old files on a flash drive, I came across some video clips of early sessions with David as he composed cues on the piano in his studio. To me, scoring is one of the most exciting stages in a movie's life. And to watch David alter, shape and incorporate my notes on the fly is nothing short of magical. I must confess it's not always easy for me to listen to a piano and extract from that how a cue will sound with a full orchestra, but somehow David can hear every oboe, every violin and every percussion. It's truly a gift I envy.
Here is a clip from the final scene on the beach. I actually think it sounds incredible with just the piano.

just saw the movie and I loved it, but trying to find the name of the song played at the end credits is difficult. I really liked it and I want to know who it is. So... who is it?
