FILM Scores
I create cinematic, emotionally-driven scores that blend orchestral, acoustic, and digital elements. My work spans short films, commercials, and feature films, always crafted to elevate the story and deepen the audience’s connection.
A Door in the Sky
This was such a fun project to work on. I had the opportunity to compose the score for this short film, creating the main themes before even seeing the film. What made it even more special is that my son, daughter, and I also had the chance to act in the film.
