A short psychological horror film written and directed by Joe Wood. The score created here is designed to convey feelings of stagefright, anxiety, parental struggles and panic attacks. The beautiful simplicity of this project helped convey the main character’s emotions to the audience and I wanted the score to help in projecting those powerful emotions to the audience.
It was a great experience to work on this film as I experimented a lot with foley effects and horror pad samples which helped aid the feeling and message of the film.
Beans is a film that was directed by Charlie Gibson who approached me to score the film and asked for a jazzy soundtrack with Minecraft esque elements to create a feeling of belonging and spirituality in the film. Having a love for Jazz, I enthusiastically took the role and created a score that made the viewer fully resonate with the film’s characters and setting.
“Wake Up” is a 2024 psychological horror film produced by Elena O’Grady. I was commissioned to compose the film’s score and created an ambient score that evoked themes of horror, suspense, worry, and sadness.
The film can be found here.
