The GroundUP roster is so strong and so diverse; the work we are unveiling is unique and truly extraordinary. I’m excited to share these wonderful reimagined classic silent films with a whole new audience!”“We at GroundUP have always felt it would be a natural pairing for our artists to marry their musical talents with a visual medium such as film.

It’s an honor for our team to be partnered with our friends at Alamo Drafthouse to bring this longstanding vision to reality” GroundUP Music COO Eric Lense said. “Each of the five composers have expressed how much light this project brought into their lives during some of the darkest days we’ve all experienced,” adds GroundUP Music Director of Label Operations, Jamie Margulies. “Tim League is literally family to us, as he and our founder Michael League are cousins, and we are so grateful to him and the Alamo team for providing our artists with this opportunity.”Each NY “GroundUP Music x Alamo Drafthouse” show includes a live Q&A with that evening’s composer, and guests will receive a different limited-edition letterpress poster for each show, designed by NY-based artist Martin Mazorra, printed on-site on a vintage letterpress in the theater’s bar, The Press Room.
