Rocketboy - Winner, Gold Medal for Musical Excellence; Winner, Comic-Con

Shelter - Winner, Gold Medal for Musical Excellence
Luke Hutton’s Shelter is an elegant, taut drama that introduces us to several characters who cross paths during a severe thunderstorm. With so many different stories going on, it was obvious from the start that having a separate theme for each character/story would be an unwieldy approach. The underlying premise of the film — that people are inextricably connected — created a situation in which a general unifying idea would best serve the multiple storylines. Since the moments to apply music are short throughout much of the film, it was necessary to create a theme in its entirety first, and then find fragments of the theme that could be sprinkled throughout the picture. Only at the very end over the credits does the theme have its chance to play out in full. more...
Alex created a tough, girl-power film with a western flavor. One of her mentors, music editor Kenny Hall, added his touches at the final dub. It was a great project to score, especially since it gave me the chance to harken back to the Spaghetti Western scores of one of my musical heroes, Ennio Morricone.

It has been my good fortune to score some great projects, including 8 seasons of network television and over 30 features, docs and excellent short films. Two years out of the USC scoring program, I was hired by Joss Whedon to score Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Fox. I then scored Angel (seasons 4 and 5) for Fox, Miracles for ABC, all 3 seasons of the Annie-Award winning Duck Dodgers for WB Animation, and Day Break for ABC. My feature film work includes co-scoring with Chris Beck the thriller THE SKULLS III for Universal/Original Film, scoring the Screamfest horror winner HH HOLMES and many more.
Honors include Annie Award for Outstanding Music in an Animated Television Production (Duck Dodgers), Gold Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Film Music and 7 Gold Medals for Musical Excellence by the Park City Film Music Festival, Best Use of Score award by The Film & TV Music Academy and BMI Film Scoring Award.
