Rick Balentine

I am an accomplished, award-winning composer with over 45 years of professional experience scoring feature films, television, documentaries, trailers, advertising, and digital media. I craft emotionally resonant, narrative-driven scores that elevate storytelling across genres—from sweeping cinematic orchestral themes to modern hybrid sound design.

I collaborate closely with directors, producers, and studios, delivering remote scoring pipelines, broadcast-ready mixes, stems, and polished cues under aggressive deadlines. I believe music is a narrative force that shapes emotion, deepens character, and unifies the visual language of film.
