Park City Film Music Award

I am really excited to announce that “Garrison”, which is directed by Kerry Valderrama, received a medal of Artistic Excellence for Best Impact of Music in a Feature Film from the Park City Film Music Festival in Park City, Utah. A troop of us drove up for the screening which was happening in the same city that both Sundance and Slamdance hosts their week long film festivals. I took some pictures from the trip and posted them in the gallery section of my site. Thank you to Kerry for letting me be a part of an amazing film and for hosting the trip as well!

I am also excited to announce that “Judas: One of Twelve”, which is directed by Aaron Marquette, screened at several festivals in 2007 including the WYSIWYG Festival in San Francisco. This week the film was awarded the Jury’s Award! Thank you to Aaron for letting me be a part of this amazing film that dives into the head of Judas. Check out a picture of the award on Aaron’s site (click on the Judas blog).

I completed a new score last year to a short film titled, “Out of the Shadow” which is directed by Andrew Bartels. I received the DVD for the film and am excited to see how well it does at festivals this year. The score is comprised of strings, clarinet, and rope noise (not too much though). I just now added the track to my audio player. Thank you to Jeanene Johnson for providing the fantastic clarinet performances and to Andrew Bartels for letting us be a part of an amazing film that deals directly with a boy’s coming of age in standing up to his father’s racist ways.

Currently, I will be completing the score to “Night Crawlers” very soon which is a Texas-sized Horror Comedy and is directed by Benjamin Wilbanks. Thank you to both Benjamin and Ron Gonzalez for letting me be a part of this crazy, wild ride!

More scores to come, thanks for reading.
