The week began with an approval by a client for my first movie trailer composition for them. Don't ask "what film"... I'll let you know when I do (that's the biz) 😎. I'm beginning my second movie trailer brief for these fine folks, which will be a trailerized version of a well known song, which, ya know, tracks for a guy who rearranges covers for weekly live gigs.

"Book!", the animated short by Chris Georgenes, which I composed the score for, also received its second film festival laurel with an Official Selection in the 2024 Top Shorts festival.

In the words of Captain Steve Rogers, "I could do this all day".
