(IN)VISIBLE WINS THE FILMMAKER AWARD @ The Disability Film Challenge

(In)Visibile, is a unique film written & directed the talented, full of charisma filmmaker Rosser Goodman.
Rosser initiated the project in order to spread awareness, inclusion and diversity for those with disabilities. Disability needs visibility.

(In)Visibile is special also because everyone on board, cast & crew, contributed their time and talents:
Actors Bryan Dilbeck & Nina Bergman who gave beautiful, compelling performances with great chemistry between them.
The legendary cinematographer Brad Rushing , the highly skilled producers Sara Ataiiyan & Dawn Mallory, and the prolific costume designer and fashion designer, Oneita Parker, to name a few. I composed the music.
The project was initially developed for the Disability Film Challenge and was completed in 48 hours. After winning the Best Filmmaker Award, editor Renee Barron came on board to re-cut a festival version, which we are currently working on. More updates coming soon!

Here’s some of the music that I wrote for it:

SILHOUETTE

There’s always a special place in my heart for Israeli filmmakers. I was more than happy to be on board when Adva Reichman, my dear friend and collaborator, wrote & directed a touching, beautiful film – SILHOUETTE- as part of her MFA studies in film directing at USC. In her film, Adva successfully deals with the difficult subject of breast cancer, and finds the right tone and balance for creating a delicate drama that leaves the audience emotionally moved.

SILHOUETTE premiered in May 16′, and I can’t wait too see what Adva will be directing. She is going to be BIG one day.

The score of Silhouette was recorded by following great musicians:
Aaron Smith – Trumpet
Jen Schwartz – Violin
Mike Lis– Guitar
Ana Barreiro – Drums
Yours truly- Piano

Here’s a sneak peak from the soundtrack:


Between Shifts – Completed

Mother, Mother Ocean wins BSTEM Project’s Competition

Our documentary short, ‘Mother, Mother Ocean’ has officially been named WINNER of the BSTEM Project’s competition 2016! Both the judging team’s finalist, and the Audience Award Choice.

The film, created by Jamie Morrow & Christine Kilmer brings to light the issues of single-use plastic: As we go on with our lives, be conscious of the amount of throw-away plastic we use, and how we can avoid them. The health of the ocean is imperative to the health of the planet…
I was happy to be part of the team, both in music & well, it was also my first-on-screen appearance.
