🎶 Award Winner: Best Original Score 🎶 / April 7, 2025
I'm thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded Best Original Score at the San Francisco Arthouse Short Festival for my work on Untitled Artist, directed by Lilly Goba! Untitled Artist is essentially a silent film, which made the music an even more vital part of the storytelling — and it was an incredible opportunity to let the score truly take center stage.
This win follows nominations for Best Original Score at the Indie Short Fest, the San Diego Short Film Festival, and the IndieX Film Festival, and it’s an honor to have my music recognized alongside so many other talented composers and filmmakers.
Untitled Artist was created through my ongoing collaboration with Next Generation Storytellers, an inspiring program that pairs seasoned professionals with student writers, actors, and directors. I’ve had the privilege of scoring 9 short films through this partnership these past two years (alongside my incredible composing partner, Daniel Davis) — and I’m excited to be working on another 9 with them this year.
Thank you for being part of this journey — I can't wait to share even more music and stories with all of you soon!

While the Walton is lyrical and melancholic highlighting the viola’s darker qualities, the Vaughan Williams’ rapid melodic twists and turns mimic a skylark in flight. Two orchestra classics frame the program: Strauss’s Wagner-influenced tour-de-force Death and Transfiguration explores the journey from life to death and redemption; and Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is the perfect vehicle to showcase the extraordinary qualities of your TSO musicians.
