Andrew Sorge

Andrew Sorge contributed music to Lāhainā Rising, a documentary chronicling the devastating August 8, 2023 wildfire that destroyed the historic town of Lāhainā, Maui.

Directed by Matty Schweitzer and produced by Blake Ramelb, De Andre Makakoa, and Phil Schlieder, the 92-minute film captures both the tragedy and the community’s resilience through survivor footage, police body cam recordings, and interviews with residents.

Lāhainā Rising won the Made in Hawaiʻi Award at the 2025 Hawaiʻi International Film Festival, it is currently in the film festival circuit, and has yet to be released.

Andrew Sorge contributed music to Good Bad Things, a 2024 romantic comedy-drama directed by Shane D. Stanger.

The film stars Danny Kurtzman as a young entrepreneur with muscular dystrophy who explores online dating after years of failed relationships. Jessica Parker Kennedy and Brett Dier co-star.

Good Bad Things won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at the 2024 Slamdance Film Festival. Music Box Films acquired North American distribution rights, releasing the film digitally in February 2025.

Performer Magazine reviewed Andrew Sorge’s band WYO’s third full-length album Gemini, following 2018’s Untamed and 2019’s Changes.

The review highlights opening track “Ignore the Map” as “chill-yet-driving,” evoking “Joshua Tree-era U2 with its dreamy vocals, off-the-backbeat snare hits and overall atmosphere.” Standout track “Red” and the danceable “Truth or Dare” are also praised, along with the folksy mid-album shift “Fire and Ice.”

The verdict: “It’s bold, it’s got heart, and it sounds like a band who knows exactly the direction they want to take. All in all, Gemini is a triumph.”

Lindsey Vonn: The Final Season, the HBO documentary featuring original music by Andrew Sorge and Scott McKay Gibson, was nominated for two Sports Emmy Awards: Outstanding Sports Promotional Announcement and Outstanding Camera Work.

Directed by Steve and Todd Jones of Teton Gravity Research, the documentary intimately recounts the iconic skier’s final competitive season while looking back at her transcendent career—from child prodigy with humble beginnings at Buck Hill, Minnesota to Olympic champion and the winningest female alpine ski racer of all time.

TGR embedded one of its elite camera crews with Vonn and the U.S. Ski Team throughout the winter of 2018-19 to capture rare and intimate footage. The film follows Vonn as she attempts to break the record set by Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark for most World Cup wins, culminating in her bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships in Sweden.

Andrew Sorge’s journey from electronic film scoring to fronting rock band WYO is featured in The Inertia.

After years composing music for films—including work with Brainfarm on Travis Rice snowboard documentaries—Sorge and writing partner Scott McKay Gibson created original music for Andy Irons: Kissed by God. Sorge described scoring the film’s tragic sequence about Andy Irons’ death as “the most meaningful sequence of a film I’ve scored so far.”

WYO’s debut album Untamed featured slower-tempo material, while their second album Changes picked up the pace after learning that live audiences prefer uptempo music. The band draws inspiration from Wyoming’s cinematic landscape—though now based in Los Angeles, they continue recording in Wyoming.

WYO, the band fronted by Andrew Sorge, is featured in LHOTSE, The North Face documentary chronicling Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison’s historic first ski descent of Lhotse—the world’s fourth-highest mountain at 27,940 feet. Their track “Running Wild” appears in the film.

Released in 2018, the film follows Nelson and Morrison as they attempt what many considered impossible: skiing off the summit of an 8,000-meter peak. The descent through the Lhotse Couloir featured slopes up to 60 degrees with a pinch point barely wider than their skis.

Nelson, the second-ever captain of The North Face’s Global Athlete Team, had previously become the first woman to climb both Everest and Lhotse within 24 hours. She passed away in 2022 on Manaslu.

Andy Irons: Kissed by God, the documentary featuring original music by Andrew Sorge and Scott McKay Gibson, won Best Documentary of 2018 at the 48th Annual Surfer Awards.

Directed by Steve and Todd Jones of Teton Gravity Research, the film explores three-time world champion surfer Andy Irons’s struggles with bipolar disorder and opioid addiction. The documentary features in-depth conversations with Andy’s brother Bruce, wife Lyndie, and fellow surfers including Kelly Slater, Joel Parkinson, Nathan Fletcher, and Sunny Garcia.

“Kissed by God is the most emotionally charged and intricate film I have ever directed with my brother Todd,” said director Steve Jones. “I am honored to have earned the deepest level of trust with the Irons family.”

Surfer Magazine editor Todd Prodanovich added: “For Andy Irons: Kissed by God to win is a real triumph…the surf community truly needed this film.”
