The Crime of the Century (2021): Official Teaser | HBO

While we are slowly coming out of one pandemic, another still rages - one that’s been going over for more than 20 years.

In yet another collaboration between Academy Award-Winning director Alex Gibney and Peter Nashel who composed the original score for the film, 'The Crime of the Century' tells the grim but vital story of how it all began with the Sackler family and the devastating consequences opioids have had on America.

The documentary will make you yell at your television, but it’s expertly crafted and beautifully composed. S/O to our other beloved duotoner Brian Deming who worked with Pete on the music for the film.

Stream it on HBO Max today!

The Crime of the Century, from Emmy and Academy Award winner Alex Gibney, is a searing indictment of Big Pharma and their responsibility for manufacturing th...

Country Music Vaccine Awareness :60 | COVID-19 Vaccine Education Initiative | Ad Council

One of the things we’ve been missing most this past year is gathering together at concerts, big and small. Adcouncil and Pereira O'Dell brought together a few of the biggest names in country music to encourage more people to get their shots so we can all get back in front of the stage. In this latest of our music supervision efforts for this inspiring campaign, we had Brett Eldredge do a simple, impassioned version of “I’ll Be Seeing You.” We’re looking forward to seeing you all at a show soon!

The COVID-19 vaccines are here and it’s normal to have questions. That’s why it’s so important to get informed. If you have questions, go to your doctor and ...

A decade ago, we music supervised a stop-motion animated short for Chipotle for which we secured the publishing rights to Coldplay's "The Scientist" (their first time ever licensing a song for a commercial) and had Willie Nelson record a hauntingly beautiful version of it. The short went on to win a gaggle of advertising awards, capped by 2X Cannes Lions Grand Prix, and the song went to #1 on iTunes country chart after the short aired in its entirety during the Grammy Awards.

10 years later, we are elated to have gotten back in the studio (virtually, anyway) with Willie for this captivating cover of the classic "I'll Be Seeing You" for another COVID-19 vaccination PSA with our partners at Pereira O'Dell and Adcouncil.

It's deeply humbling to work with an icon who has been moving people with his music for so many decades. Thank you, Willie, and manager Mark Rothbaum for doing what you do with so much heart.

‎Unfinished: Deep South on Apple Podcasts

For this week’s listening session, we’re recommending “Unfinished: Deep South”, a brand new podcast that tells the true story of the unsolved lynching of Isadore Banks, a successful African-American farmer living in the Deep South during the 1950’s. We're 3 episodes deep and we are hooked!

A production of Witness Docs from Stitcher and Market Road Films, the podcast was created, written, produced and narrated by Taylor Hom and Neil Shea (full disclosure: these two are our very own Dana Hom's sister and brother-in-law. Literal duotone family!). Taylor and Neil spent 18 months researching and conducting interviews to bring us this story.

We hear the term ‘systemic racism’ a lot these days. To understand what that really means, it’s crucial that we listen to personal stories like this one. Isadore’s story is a clear example of how racist policy and racist acts have worked in tandem throughout our history to prevent African-Americans from accumulating generational wealth. We’re on the edge of our seat waiting for the next chapter.
