This is my take on the music for the California Independent Film Festival film scoring competition 2015.  The film that was distributed is a short by two film students from Depaul University - the film is titled Bridge Builders.  

CAIFF 2015 - 2 The Mysterious Man & The Abduction

I didn't get to this in time to see the movie, but it's supposed to be an attempt at arranging the original music and giving new characters original themes of my own.  One down so far.  

The Force Theme

Solo For Violin - III Mix

This is the track I entered into a film music composition contest I entered in March, 2016.  

I used elements of jazz as the "language" of the score with various instrumental effects to show excitement, suspense, and relief when needed. The winner, 1st & second runners up, and 10 finalists for both emerging and young composers are listed in the Cine link below. Also, thank you to the everyone involved with the original project, who provided the opportunity for us to score this heartwarming and nostalgic film.
