"Nowhere, Michigan" premiered at The NYC Independent Film Festival on May 4th, 2017. Its debuting at festivals nationwide - The New Haven International & CineOddysey Festival included. A crime thriller starring Tequan Richmond (Everybody Hates Chris, General Hospital), Jenna Boyd (The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, The Missing) and Christina Scherer (The Intern, Interior Night), the film tells the story of an innocent bystander who witnesses a drug deal gone awry and finds himself warming up to the locals of a small town. Richard Riehle (Office Space, The Fugitive) co-stars.

"Completely Normal" won "Best Score" at the NYC CHAIN Film Festival in 2015. The film also received prizes, nominations and accolades from festivals nationwide. It's now available to watch on Amazon and Vimeo On Demand. The charmingly off-kilter narrative follows Greg (Seth Kirschner, 30 Rock) in a misguided attempt to win the affection of Gwen (Jenny Grace, Serious Business) despite both parties being highly unstable. Geneva Carr (Law & Order: SVU, It's Complicated) and Whitney Kimball Long (Limitless) co-star.

Between scoring projects, I do some pop-folk-alternative recording (who doesn't these days?) with my duo mac/glidden - our animated music video for "Mountains" was just released. Directed by Laurie Berenhaus and starring performance artist Anne Marsen (The Good Wife, Girl Walk // All Day) the video premiered on May 10th and has been accepted by the Brooklyn Music Video Festival and River Film Festival in Padua, Italy. Listen to the full album here. Or here ...or here.

The score is underway for "Nowhere, Michigan", a crime thriller set against the backdrop of a frozen Michigan town - my second collaboration with Dir. Robert Vornkahl. Starring: Tequan Richmond (Everybody Hates Chris, General Hospital), Jenna Boyd (The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, The Missing), Christina Scherer (The Intern, Interior Night) and Richard Riehle (Office Space, The Fugitive).

I was in Los Angeles for a week, where the majority of the writing - and some basic tracking - was done with David Beede (Professional Sound Mixer/Designer), followed by about six months of additional recording and refinement. Completely Normal was released in the summer of 2015. The film did well in festivals - including this award for "Best Score" presented by the NYC Chain Film Festival. It's available to view now on Amazon & Vimeo On Demand.
