Becoming Family premiers at
South Asian International Film Festival
It was a pleasure working with Director Carl Strecker to create the score for this touching film. This film offered a challenge in that it needed a dramatic and emotional underscore that would seemlessly lead up to a climactic scene featuring the song "Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own" by U2.
Stecker’s documentary, Becoming Family, chronicals a team of doctors and medical students that travel to Sri Lanka to provide medical relief to victims of the devistating 2005 sunami.
The film premiered at the South Asian International Film Festival in New York City this fall.

It was so fun to work on this quirky comedy horro film. The score for the film was based off Paula Haifley’s direction “make it sound like 1950’s TV themes.” What FUN.

The film has also been featured at: Fangoria Magazine's Monster Mondays in New York, NY and Fright Night at CIA in Los Angeles, CA and won the Audience Award for Best Short at the Del Rey Beach Film Festival.

The Window premiers at 2006 Shiekfest Film Festival
I had a great time scoring the music for Clea Frost’s suspencefull and poetic film The Window. The film which has been called a "Voyeuristic Thiller" by Fangoria and will be shown on Sat. Sept. 30th at 11pm at The 6th Annual Los Angeles International Horror/Thriller/Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film Festival (better known as ShriekFest ).
The film was premiered at Shiekfest Film Festival (Los Angeles, CA)

Gretchen selected for Valley Film Festival
I enjoyed scoring the music for Director Geoff Stebbin’s comedy/horror film Gretchen. In creating the score for Gretchen, I took my lead from the music from the X-Files. The film also called for a cue that is a tribute the Beatles.
Gretchen follows the a young couple's relationship as it's torn asunder when one of them discovers a dark secret. The film's 'dark secret' was realized via CGI and contains the perhaps the most realistic ‘evil’ pancake ever seen on film!
The film was premiered at the Valley Film Festival (Toluca Lake, CA).

Completed the score for the short "Monster Movie Insurance" from director Paula Haifley. This funny short has great monsters and plays off the 'perfect family' (or should I saw Paula's twisted version of the politically - correct CLEAVERS. The score echos the TV sitcoms of the 50 & 60's, which is all many of us under 35, have has a memory of that time. "Here's Andy" opens the film with a way to happy mail man skipping down the 'perfect' street. "Dinner Time" shows the entire politically correct family sitting down to a SWELL meal.
