LOS ANGELES - PennZone -- Today, the highly anticipated score album for the documentary film "The Lost Weekend: A Love Story" is released, featuring the original music by composer Ace Vaptsarov. This release marks the approximate one-year anniversary of the film's streaming debut, allowing audiences to experience the captivating story of John Lennon and May Pang's relationship, through its evocative score.

Premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022, the documentary chronicles the 18-month romantic relationship between John Lennon and May Pang during the early 1970s. Filled with previously unseen photos and intimate stories, the film also illustrates May's important role in renewing and strengthening John's bond with his son Julian.

Ace's score is a dynamic blend of guitar, creative sound design, and intricate orchestral themes. "Working on this score was an absolute dream," Ace shares. "Viewers have already expressed how much they've enjoyed the journey this film takes you on, and I'm happy they can now experience that through the music, or relive the emotion from a specific moment, by finding that one cue and playing it back. Music truly is the best tool we have for expressing that which words cannot."
