While at #Pixar for a decade, Alex Mandel composed two songs for the Academy-Award winning film BRAVE (2012)-- "Touch the Sky" and "Into the Open Air", both sung by Julie Fowlis.

Mandel also composed the score for the Ratatouille short film, Your Friend the Rat, written and directed by Ratatouille writer Jim Capobianco, and recorded at Skywalker Sound with Michael Giacchino and Brad Bird. 

Director Mark Andrews asked Mandel to write the BRAVE songs, after hearing his album The Echo Falls, which was featured on KQED's "The Do List."  Earlier, Mandel led the alt-rock quartet The Fingers. 

Mandel recently completed his score and songs for The Inventor (Jim Capobianco) which features nine of his songs performed by Marion Cotillard, Daisy Ridley, Matt Berry and Sequoia Cristobal-Mandel. He scored the Netflix series Super Giant Robot Brothers (Mark Andrews). He is also known for his scores for such films as "East Side Sushi" (Anthony Lucero, 2014), "Snow Day" (Erica Milsom, 2015), and "Tracy" (Dan Scanlon, 2009). He also wrote his first musical in 2014, "Painting America", with a book by Lynne Kaufman, which premiered at Theatreworks (Director, Robert Kelley).
