Composed, performed and recorded the musical score for short film in direct collaboration with director. The score is hybrid music: classical/orchestral music with electronic/digital elements (ala Daft Punk's musical score for "Tron: Legacy").

30 for 30 episode directed by Michael Rapaport titled "When the Garden Was Eden." Worked directly with the producers to assist in their collaboration with the director. The producers granted access to an extensive library of licensed musical options to choose for background music and instrumental sequences. Prepared several edits of the cut, with various musical choices and options. My musical selections and edits were reflected in the final cut of the episode.

Composed, performed and recorded musical "mnemonics" (audio logos) for RDIO media branding contract.

Hired by the film's director and the producers to do a "page-1" rewrite of the script after some principal photography was already shot and "in the can." My script was a total reconceptualization of the film's narrative - but we were able to make the new screenplay work, and used my pages to go back into production. It was an unusual process - but turned out to be an invaluable experience as a storyteller.
