I have been working on the soundtrack for the film STIFF produced by Cinema Epoch directed by Jim Towns and Mike McKown. I heard rumors it might debut in Los Angles possibly as early as June ( Read more... )

I am sure everyone will watch Zombie Land this week but the film "The Invention of Lying" releases in theaters tomorrow. I am definitely positively in the final cut of the movie. Except I have my long hair in it (it was filmed nearly a year ago). It's a funny movie and it's classic Ricky Gervais.

I finished the soundtrack for Chelsea's film short "Portrait of Madison" which is being entered into the "Straight 8" film festival. It's a festival where you shoot one unedited roll of film and submit it along with voice overdubs and music. So I composed the score without seeing it and just hearing the overdubs.
