Hi, I’m Tommy Wu. I’m a Taipei-based film composer trained at UCLA Extension. I write for independent and festival-selected films, focusing on inner states, silence, and psychological tension, often exploring memory, time, and mortality. I collaborate closely with directors to develop music as an integral narrative element, translating emotion into musical motifs and textures that support character and story. I enjoy partnering with directors from early discussions through final mix to craft scores that elevate the cinematic experience and resonate with audiences long after the screen goes dark.
