The Dedication (2025) – Short Film – Dir. Adrienne Lunson

The last of the Stephen King Dollar Baby adaptations, my score for ‘The Dedication’ features soloists Fraser Bowles (Cello) and Natalia Tsupryk (Violin/Viola) for Adrienne’s Japan based short film.

Featuring influences ranging from Tango, to Japanese touches and modern cinematic influences, some of my favorite tracks include tracks 7 & 8 ‘Yamamba’ and ‘A Mother’s Love’.

The film has already won multiple awards and as of 2026 is on its festival run. Coming in at a runtime of 38 minutes, I believe the intention is a pilot for a more fully fleshed out universe.

The album was mastered by Anders Peterson of G&S Mastering and Post, in Sweden, and released under my own label Little Island Records.

Bark (2025) – Short Film – Dir. Searit Huluf

An obsessive heartbroken woman makes a desperate attempt to reconnect with her ex, but it turns out stealing his dog might not be the way to his heart.

Starring Monica Potter, Alfonso Caballero and Jennie Sherer, my quirky, aggressive, jazz-punk-dog score remains one of the most fun sonic adventures I’ve had, and I’m thankful to Searit for giving me full creative license to go wild.

Did I sample a dog bark and turn it into a dog symphony? Yes. Did I record a ton of electric rock guitar and mash that together with a jazz brass section and drumkit? Been there done that.

I recognize that the score may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but in the right mood and certainly, in support of the dark comedy of the film, it was perfect.

The Stand (2025) – Short Film – Dir. Oanh-Nhi Nguyen

The Stand was a film commissioned as part of ‘Rising Voices’ in 2025, directed by Oanh-Nhi Nguyen and premiering at Tribeca Film Festival in the same year.

It’s a heartfelt story about a family’s love for each other and their perseverance in surviving in spite of difficulties in life.

A highlight for this short album for me was collaborating with songwriter Trace on two tracks, ‘I’m Not Sorry’ and ‘Yrros’, and having both appear prominently in the film.

‘I’m Not Sorry’ had Trace’s masterful lyrics and songwriting that I fleshed out on the guitar, and it was also recorded at my studio. ‘Yrros’ had me remixing Trace’s original vocal into an EDM track that was really fun to do.
