We have all been collaborating on each other’s short films. This year, 2 of the short films will be showing at SXSW, “The Alligator,” written and directed by Jeff Marrow, and “The Grownups” directed by Jason Wehling. I operated the boom mic, and mixed the audio for both of these films. I also composed music for “The Alligator.” The music in “The Grownups” is by the The Militant Babies.

“The Alligator” is a cute story about an awkward first date. “The Grownups” began as a submission to the 48 hour film competition. It won many awards including best film(!)

Check them out!

The movie is about a guy who opens an organic vegetarian food stand and the trouble he finds in keeping his business profitable. The original score was written and performed by the director Paul Gordon and the actor Jonny Mars on an old upright piano. I expanded on the original composition for a couple of scenes and montages. It will be premiering at the SXSW Film Festival on Sunday March 14th at 2pm at the Alamo Ritz. It will also show on March 15th at 5pm and March 18th at 6:15pm, both at the Alamo Ritz. Check it out!

I have been putting it off for a long time, but I can now officially mix for Dolby Pro Logic encoding.  It’s was a long and complicated project, but it’s sounding nice. You can now feel the bass with the subwoofer… ha ha.

She interviewed them for research into a narrative feature and Christian Moore filmed the interviews. She ended up editing the footage together with Aaron Raff to create a dual screen art installation piece that showed at local art galleries and museums. When the film was accepted to Sundance, I began working on the sound design and mix. Original music by Sean Eden and Courtney Saunders. Special thanks to Tom Hammond for letting us listen to the mix in his excellent room. It turned out great and received an honorable mention at the Sundance festival. Congrats everybody!

It will be playing again at the SXSW film festival, so go check it out!
