This week composer George S. Clinton was at the Todd-AO scoring stage for the new HBO original film, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Directed by long-time Clinton collaborator Yves Simoneau, the film is an adaptation of the book by Dee Brown about the displacement of the Native American population as the U.S. expanded west, and stars Adam Beach, Aidan Quinn, Anna Paquin and Wes Studi.
