Shaun Hettinger is a film & tv composer known for creating award-winning, story-driven scores that are built from the ground up for each project. From his studio, Neon Moon Studios, he collaborates closely with directors and editorial teams to develop bespoke sonic identities that shape tone, psychology, and narrative. His credits span major platforms and global brands, including Star Wars, Fortnite, Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube, alongside dozens of films that have screened internationally and received festival recognition.
Blending modular synth experimentation with emotive piano and orchestral textures, Shaun’s work lives in the space between atmosphere and melody—drawing from the textural world-building of composers like Trent Reznor and the emotional precision of Thomas Newman. With a background as a songwriter and frontman, he brings a deep instinct for pacing, dynamics, and thematic development, approaching each score not as accompaniment, but as a core storytelling instrument.
