We can only assume that out-of-state people love working here at Coupe because of the high quality of our work (and coffee). But maybe they have ulterior motives as well?
Turns out Boulder, CO is the happiest damn place in the land:

We Love You, Phillip Morris

Between our five studios and our dozen or so staffers, we've got a lot going on! So sometimes it takes us a while to notice things... So thank you, Anonymous Emailer who gave us kudos for our own Greg McRae's credit on the soundtrack to the Ewan McGregor / Jim Carrey film I Love You, Phillip Morris. Greg had the pleasure of once again working with Friend of Coupe Nick Urata and DeVotchKa (Also responsible for the fantastic Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack).
