Surprise, surprise, I also do film music! I am happy to score your film, tv show, video or web series upon request. On this page you’ll find sample cues from film projects I have done that demonstrate a variety of approaches and musical aesthetics.
Live-Action
Where It Takes Me
In the spring of 2018, I scored a 16-minute short film called Where It Takes Me, about a recovering alcoholic. The film was made by New Way Media and directed by Eric Johnson.
Palomar Film Music Workshop
Me with Roger Neill, George S. Clinton, and Larry Groupé (all left of me in the back row) along with all of the 2017 PFMW composers.
I was a participant in the 2017 Palomar Film Music Workshop, where I studied under composers Roger Neill (Don’t Think Twice, 20th Century Women) and Larry Groupé (Nothing But the Truth, The Contender). I scored scenes from 20th Century Women and the HBO film Killing Reagan while I was there. My cue for Killing Reagan was recorded with a full orchestra at StudioWest in San Diego. For legal reasons, I can not show these clips on my website, however if you would like to see them, email me and I can send you the password-protected videos.
Animation
Serenade
This animation was my friend Nicole Limones’s junior film at CalArts. It’s about a lone man walking through a forest in the winter. Per Nicole’s request, the first half of the film has no music.
Dir. Nicole Limones
