Your Welcome - a short film by Naftali Beane Rutter

In 2019 I collaborated with writer/director/actor Naftali Beane Rutter (www.waterboundpicures.com) on his latest short film ‘Your Welcome’.

In 2020 the film is starting to make the rounds at smaller indie film festivals, so far it won the Judges Award at the Iron Mule festival in NYC and it will be seen at several film festivals in LA very soon.

Your Welcome is a short comic odyssey about a soul finding himself through the indelible message he wakes to find branded on his person.

The music in the film was a joint effort between Naftali and myself.

I wrote and produced the music you hear in this trailer.

Neatline Antique Maps

Here is a recent bit of score I composed for a very interesting company based in San Francisco, Neatline Antique Maps.

In this short film we are taken back to San Francisco circa 1850 where we learn some very interesting history about how real estate on the waterfront area was slowly built up…on the decks of tradeships!

For this short feature I tried to use some period appropriate harmonic devices and I also threw in the rare and unique sounds of the Glass Harmonica as a transitional interlude.

CampusLore - Pro Athletes Share College Memories

Excited that a simple but funky rhythmic loop I composed is now the musical set piece for these stories.

'CampusLore' is a series of short candid interviews where NFL players reach back and recount the memories that stood out for them during their years playing College football. 

Scoring is always about adaptation, and also 'scaling'. In this project I chose to break it down to just a very minimal beat to add a little motion to these great anecdotal interviews.
