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.

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.
