Q:How much is your commission fee?
A:It really depends on the type of project. If you'd like me to write a composition for you, email me and we can discuss this in detail.
Q:What are a list of your most recent films?
A:"Static" (Galatrax Pictures, 2006)
"Bloom" (Whatever Films Inc, 2005)
"Brad Interrupted" (COFI, 2004)
"Death of Noir" (Galatrax Pictures, 2003)
Q:Have you released any CDs of your works?
A:Well, I did release my soundtrack to the indie film Death of Noir, but as far as concert music, I really haven't had a lot of time to produce an album. But, my plans are to release a collection of my concert works on CD.
Q:What are you working on now?
A:I am now finished with the film score for "Static". Audio clips will be available in the future.
Q:What are your plans as a musician and composer?
A:I'm falling in love with playing my viola. At the same time, I love writing music. So I guess at this stage of my career, I am still finding out what I want to do. If I could choose at this exact moment, I would say both! I want to continue writing for film and also for the concert hall. I eventually want to further my studies in viola and composition at the University of Southern California (Thornton School of Music). We'll see what happens!
