Scores locked. Mixes delivered. Year wrapped. 🎬 It’s a genuine privilege to be operating alongside the best in the game this year and celebrating the wins with the friends who make it all worth it. See you in 2026!
Good full circle moment a few weeks back when EUROPA came to screen at Norris Theater! Having attended possibly hundreds of screenings here during my time at USC, it has always been a dream to finally be up on that stage. What an amazing time talking about the music for our film and celebrating this screening with our cast and crew.
World Premiere of "Turpentine" at the legendary TCL Chinese Theatre! Honored to have worked alongside the incredible Luke and Rita Konopasky, with a score that’s been quietly evolving over the last five years. Grateful to see it all come together on the big screen at my third Dances With Films premiere — always an inspiring experience.

Thrilled to kick off the new year by contributing music to “A Century of Dreams” on @disneyplus ! It’s an honor to be part of this celebration, recognizing the incredible contributions to Disney’s storytelling through music.
Happy to share that while at Cannes Film Festival @wavesapartdoc won the Jury Award for Best Documentary at the Emerging Filmmaker Showcase! A congratulations to @j0shgreene and team!
That’s a wrap! Beyond honored to have graduated from USC’s Film & Television Production program Summa Cum Laude last week with these tremendous friends and filmmakers! It’s been a journey with many different cohorts, and to be able to graduate back in person was the best way to end it all.✌️🎓
Lastly, a special thanks to my good friend @federico.cinema for helping orchestrate a chance for our full production cohort to meet up last week, and for including enough Hans Zimmer in the event playlist.
One of my favorite photos of last March, this was the last time most of our production cohort was all together. Five days later, COVID hit and USC shut down. Although we got used to Zoom, we were scattered and isolated from each other. Today, the majority of our group is graduating USC.
At first it was surreal to look back on a year that sometimes felt like a big gap of nothingness. However, I quickly realized, even apart, we were all finding ways to work together, keep the magic alive, and seriously do our best work yet. Even if some of us are leaving USC, I know we’ve left a big impression on one-another. As a lone composer who’s snuck his way into the film production program, I couldn’t be more proud of this group and it’s been an honor to get closer to them (maybe even literally now that we’re vaccinated).
Congratulations, class of 2021! Thank you thank you thank you for everything so far, and I can’t wait for everything ahead.
