    paper Original Score, Songwriting & Sound Design for Award-Winning Short Films

    Project Description

    I served as the lead Music Composer and Sound Designer for a series of acclaimed short films, including Broken, The Plan, Invito a Pranzo, and Una Fortuna da Re. My goal was to build a unique sonic identity for each project, ranging from gritty urban thrillers to intimate family dramas and psychological period pieces.

    Technical Scope of Work:
    Original Music Composition: Designed and produced bespoke scores tailored to the narrative arc. This included creating tense, atmospheric textures for The Plan and emotive, melodic arrangements for Broken.

    Songwriting: Composed and produced original songs that serve as core narrative elements within the films, ensuring a seamless blend between the soundtrack and the story.

    Atmospheric Sound Design: Crafted immersive soundscapes from scratch. My work involved Foley, ambient environmental sounds, and cinematic SFX to enhance the visual realism and emotional impact.

    Audio Post-Production: Responsible for the final mix and master of the soundtracks, ensuring high-quality delivery for international film festivals (including LAFA, Rome Prisma Film Awards, and Indie Short Fest).
