Moving from 2008 to 2009: Festivals and More

February 11th, 2009

Both “Andheri” and “A Work of Art” are official selections of Method Fest 2009.  Sushrut Jain (“Andheri” director) just returned from the Clermont-Ferrand festival in France.  Andheri played each day of the week-long festival to a theater packed with over 1000 festival-goers.  It was well-received with crowds forming lines for every showing and answering the film with vigorous applause daily.

2008 was a busy year with ten projects wrapped and several lined up for 2009.  Lately I have been writing music for the Starz original program “Party Down,” a comedy from executive producers Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars) and Paul Rudd of Judd Apatow fame, under television composer Josh Kramon (Veronica Mars, October Road).

Finally, I have my first cue featured with X-Ray Dog on their current “Night Hounds” release.  The cue is currently the opening title track on my site’s music player, “Last Chance.”

More to come.
