Over the past 25 years, Los Angeles native and resident Danny Elfman has established himself as one of film’s leading composers. His collaborations with director Gus Van Sant on Milk and Good Will Hunting brought Mr. Elfman Academy Award® nominations; he has been nominated twice more, for Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black and Tim Burton’s Big Fish. The latter also earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination.

'Taking Woodstock' is the new film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee – and it’s a trip! Based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, the comedy stars Demetri Martin as Elliot, who inadvertently played a role in making 1969’s Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. Working as an interior designer in Greenwich Village, Elliot feels empowered by the gay rights movement.

But he is also still staked to the family business – a dumpy Catskills motel called the El Monaco that is being run into the ground by his overbearing parents, Jake and Sonia Teichberg (Henry Goodman and Imelda Staunton). In the summer of 1969, Elliot has to move back upstate to the El Monaco in order to help save the motel from being taken over by the bank.
