I had the pleasure of working with composer Douglas Ricketts on two of my short films—"Take Care," a drama, and "Decaying World," a horror film. Douglas composed original scores for both projects, and his work was nothing short of exceptional.
His ability to interpret and enhance the emotional tone of a film is truly remarkable. For "Take Care," Douglas captured the delicate emotional currents of the story with a score that added depth and poignancy. In "Decaying World," his haunting, atmospheric music elevated the tension and dread, perfectly complementing the horror visuals without overpowering them.
Both films were accepted into film festivals and even won—success I firmly believe was in large part due to Douglas’ contribution. His professionalism, creativity, and intuitive grasp of storytelling through music make him an invaluable collaborator for any filmmaker. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Douglas began producing original instrumentals for stock music services in 2007. He has composed original scores for short features, provided cues for television sync, and licensed some of his jazz tracks for use in various projects.
Douglas is an active member of the TAXI A&R sync service.
Seven albums of his original instrumental songs released between 2005 and 2024 are streaming worldwide. They range between orchestral, electronic, rock, jazz, and hybrid genres. Most of the albums can be downloaded and used in commercial & personal projects on a non-exclusive basis (ASCAP registration required for commercial use).
