If you like westerns, caricatures, and creative advertising then check out my latest commercial on YouTube! It’s a spot for an Android phone directed by Rebecca Lorenne Doppelt, and it was a really fun little project to work on.
Bugbaby plays in more festivals
Bugbaby, the horror short that I scored in the summer of 2010, is turning out to be the little film that could. It continues to get festival screenings and attention, most recently tonight at the Hollywood Fringe Festival here in Los Angeles.

Dream Gallery on Amazon’s Hot New Releases
The orchestral album I orchestrated and produced with composer Mark Abel, Dream Gallery, has been in the top 20 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases list for more than a month now, and today we made it up to #2. I’m flattered, proud, and a little surprised all at the same time.
Feature film Crooked Arrows released nationally
Crooked Arrows, the Native American lacrosse film scored by film composer and friend Brian Ralston was released nationally today. I was his music copyist and did the sheet music preparation for the orchestral scoring session at The Bridge.
Fortunes Fools production begins
Fortune’s Fools, my sixth film with director Robert Rollins has begun production. I was on set today to meet the actors and hear Bob’s direction, because it’s enormously helpful to my composing process and gives me a little head start. It will be part of a larger package of movies called Dream Country, and I scored all of the films in it.
