A brief overview of my favorite short films I've made.

Examples of scores I have made for different projects I have worked on.

A performative experimental short I made about the idea of life being a constant performance.

A performative piece I made based on endurance. To film this, I stood outside in -12° weather without a coat, perfectly still, for as long as I could stand.

A short experimental piece I made about how difficult it is to live in the present but crave the past.

I wrote this score as a project where we were tasked with writing a piece of emotional music, and then sourcing a video to match our theme. I wrote my theme, and chose to use an emotional moment from Disney's Big Hero 6 to match its intensity.
