LOS ANGELES - Dec. 6, 2024 - PRLog -- Today, the highly anticipated score album for the documentary film "The Lost Weekend: A Love Story" is released, featuring the original music by composer Ace Vaptsarov. This release marks the approximate one-year anniversary of the film's streaming debut, allowing audiences to experience the captivating story of John Lennon and May Pang's relationship, through its evocative score.

Premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022, the documentary chronicles the 18-month romantic relationship between John Lennon and May Pang during the early 1970s. Filled with previously unseen photos and intimate stories, the film also illustrates May's important role in renewing and strengthening John's bond with his son Julian.

Ace's score is a dynamic blend of guitar, creative sound design, and intricate orchestral themes. "Working on this score was an absolute dream," Ace shares. "Viewers have already expressed how much they've enjoyed the journey this film takes you on, and I'm happy they can now experience that through the music, or relive the emotion from a specific moment, by finding that one cue and playing it back. Music truly is the best tool we have for expressing that which words cannot."

The soundtrack is divided into two volumes, showcasing Ace's diverse musical influences and collaborations with an exceptional team.

"I'm very thankful to directors Richard Kaufman, Eve Brandstein and Stuart Samuels, as well as producer Christal Curry, and the rest of the team. And I'm especially grateful to May Pang for trusting me to provide the musical and emotional beats to her beautiful story," Ace adds.

A Berklee College of Music graduate, Ace began his career in a heavy metal band before transitioning to film scoring. He has collaborated with industry icons like Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe and Bear McCreary and scored films such as "Yellow Oleander," which earned the Best Score Award at the 2023 Bulgarian Film Academy Awards and "The Erl-King", which earned the Best Soundtrack Award at the 27th Religion Today Film Festival in Trento, Italy. Currently, his score for the anti-war drama film "The Erl-King" is up for consideration for the SCL's David Raksin Award for Emerging Talent, as well as available for streaming on all preferred digital platforms.
