Geoff Zanelli on Scoring Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die

Composer Geoff Zanelli joins Filmmaker Mixer to break down his bold, experimental score for Gore Verbinski’s Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, opening February 13. From punk and Zappa influences to orchestral chaos, this score was designed to be anything—and everything. Zanelli dives into his collaborative process with Verbinski, recording nearly 100 musicians, transforming cello into new sonic textures, and building a “nine-headed monster” of a score using handmade guitars, synths, and absurdist choir Latin. Filmmakers will learn how creative freedom shapes bold musical choices and how unconventional workflows can elevate a film.
