Exclusive: Stream David Wingo's “Premiere” From ‘Brigsby Bear’

This weekend, an oddball, endearing and sweet movie lands in theaters with “Brigsby Bear.” Earning strong buzz out of Sundance, the film, co-written and starring “Saturday Night Live” star Kyle Mooney, works its own unique magic, one that’s aided by the score from David Wingo. The composer has been a longtime collaborator on the films of David Gordon Green and Jeff Nichols, and brings his great touch to this charming indie.

The film follows James, who, after 25 years of secluded existence with his protective parents in their isolated, off-the-grid home, is tossed out into a new life in relatively daunting Cedar Hills, Utah. As his world upends, the most shocking revelation to James is that he’s the only person who has ever watched his favorite television program, Brigsby Bear Adventures. Struggling to adjust to the show’s abrupt end, he begins to see Brigsby’s lessons as his only way to make sense of a big, scary new world, and James decides to make a movie to end Brigsby’s story — and re-begin his own.

“We always kept in mind that the score should, for the most part, be subjective to James’ experience and reflect his mental and emotional state, so it made a lot of sense that with his single-minded obsession with the show as well as the fact that it’s basically the only “culture” he was ever exposed to that if the music was to mirror him, then it needed to maybe share something in common with the Brigsby music,” Wingo explained about this approach.
