Music should strengthen a story—not compete with it.
As an award-winning film and documentary composer with 26 IMDb credits and music featured on HBO, Netflix, AMC, CBS, ESPN, MTV, and Comedy Central, I’ve spent the past 16 years helping independent filmmakers bring their stories to life through emotionally authentic, story-first scores that serve the narrative and support the director’s vision. Whether you’re producing a feature film, documentary, television series, or short, I write music that strengthens storytelling, deepens emotional connection, and keeps audiences immersed in your world.
Every project begins with understanding your story, your audience, and the emotional journey you want viewers to experience.
What it’s like to work together:
• Story-first scoring that supports narrative, character, and emotion
• Clear communication throughout every stage of production
• The ability to translate non-musical creative direction into music that aligns with your vision
• Reliable delivery that helps keep post-production on schedule
• Professionalism from first conversation through final mix
What clients have said:
“This would not be an award-winning documentary if it hadn’t been for the score… They did a great job in record-breaking time… I could not be happier with the score I got.”
“Cut Time Music’s scores are nothing short of brilliant. What they do is as integral to the film as any other element.”
“Cut Time Music brings a creative collaboration to the table that I rarely see. They…[worked] against an incredibly crazy schedule, not once sacrificing quality or collaboration.”
