My short World War 2 film, “A Mighty Endeavor” was nominated for Best Director, Best Experimental Film, Best Music Video, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and an Overall Excellence Award.

I had fun doing this WestWorld competition! The winner was announced in late June. I scored it in just three days while watching three kids and a dog and preparing for another interview. When the genre switch happens, I chose a Viennese waltz / vaudeville / calliope machine style music. Spitfire Audio makes amazing tools […]

I wrote an entire fantasy score for Ron Newcomb’s “Ranger’s” short film, produced and created by The Forge Studios. This score was an opportunity to visit one of my favorite genres. I particularly love a lot of tracks for this score and feel they demonstrate my ability to write really pulse-pounding, large scale scores that […]
I had the enormous privilege of writing a score for director Ron Newcomb’s WW2 era short film “C’est La Guerre.” I’ve always wanted to write in this genre, and it has been treated marvelously by composers like John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and more over the last ten years.
