Nephew scores "Battle of the Bulge" documentary

The Daily Mail, UK

German forces overwhelmed the Americans and their allies exactly 70 years ago this week during the World War II "Battle of the Bulge." The bloody setback lasted almost a month. The massive German counter-offensive smashed through the Ardennes -- including the town of Clervaux in Luxembourg.

A documentary memorializing events in Clervaux from Dec. 16 to Dec. 18, 1944, called "Alamo zu Cliarref" (Alamo in Clervaux) is in final production there. Our nephew, Steve Letnes, was hired to compose the musical score. (He'll be paid in Euros.) The movie will be released in theaters in January/February this year.

Steve says, "It is almost completely in Luxembourgish -- yes that's a real word, I had to look it up -- and German. Thankfully the well-prepared script and storyboard given to me were in English."

Steve is composing the score in his Lake Street studio in Minneapolis, where he shares a condo with Kathleen's brother Dan.

Later in January, Steve will fly to LA to put the final touches on the Christmas movie he's been involved with for the past year or so.
