Past Projects

Description: A short film directed by Cody Salais & produced by Spy Hop Productions, a Salt Lake City based nonprofit with a focus on educating underprivileged youth in the arts. Soundtrack co-written with Aaron Orfanos and Kayden Macey.

Notes: We worked in collaboration with director Cody Salais, discussing, tone, plot, and references to get the soundtrack to fit the unique vibe of the film. 

Description: A series of short video projects commissioned by the Utah Division of Arts & Museums. Several compositions were commissioned that have been used continuously throughout the series.

Notes: Composing these pieces, I focused on making short, identifiable compositions that wouldn't pull too much attention away from the videos. The different compositions had different moods to give the video creators flexibility in their application. More videos using my compositions can be found on the Utah Arts & Museums YouTube channel.

Description: A collaboration between Spy Hop and LA Works. This project was intended to increase volunteerism in the Los Angeles community.

Notes: The client wanted a vibe and tone that was uplifting and hopeful, but also strong and empowering. The finished piece was developed with these ideas in mind. 

Description: A short film directed by Elizabeth Katherin Martinez about a young Italian girl navigating the struggles of her family life and feeling like she belongs. 

Notes: It took a couple attempts to really capture the tone of the music for the film, which had to be light and innocent but also emotionally deep. This difference can be heard in the first and final versions of the track 'Decisions'. For rights reasons I can't share the link to the film, but I've attached the compositions I did for the score. 

Description: A short documentary film directed by Talon Earley exploring the impact of nuclear testing on the small town of Delta, Utah. 

Notes: This project was an exciting opportunity to stretch my musical skills by delving into more ambient, orchestral, and dark sounds. I worked closely with the director and producer to ensure the emotion of each track matched the scene to elevate the experience. The film will be available here as a link after it premieres at Zions Indie Film Festival and DocUtah on 2/28/25.
