100 Days 100 Nights
2025
Recorded in Vienna, Austria at the Synchron Stage with the Synchron Stage Orchestra as part of the Hollywood Music Workshop with Conrad Pope.
100 Days 100 Nights is a musical reflection on unspoken longing and the quiet ache of hope. Inspired by a scene from the film Cinema Paradiso in which a man stands beneath a woman’s window for one hundred nights, waiting to be seen, the piece traces his journey from devotion to disillusionment. On the ninety-ninth night, he turns away—choosing the comfort of hope over the pain of rejection. Yet, in the story’s final moment, love finds him when he least expects it. Through its unfolding melodies and suspended harmonies, 100 Days, 100 Nights explores the tension between patience and surrender, between desire and the bittersweet beauty of waiting.
To Be Drawn
2025
To Be Drawn is a short student film that I scored directed by Aaron Ritter in the spring of 2025. Premiered as a part of CU's Cinema Studies undergraduate program.
In this whimsical blend of live action and animation, a frustrated artist crumples up yet another failed sketch—only for the discarded doodle to spring to life. What begins as a spark of inspiration turns into a surreal friendship, as the artist nurtures her animated creation and watches it grow. But when she steps away, the drawing becomes restless, desperate to be completed. Their reunion spirals into a chaotic tug-of-war between creator and creation, blurring the line between imagination and reality. Swept into a dreamlike world made of her own unfinished works, the artist must confront her creative block—and herself—before returning to reality, where inspiration finally takes shape on the page.
The Case Crackers
2025
The Case Crackers is a short student film that I scored directed by Aidelis Colombany in the spring of 2025. Premiered as a part of CU's Cinema Studies undergraduate program.
In The Case Crackers, three overconfident cousin-performers at a university go missing right before their big show — and it’s not because of stage fright. Turns out, Meg, a cash-strapped classmate with questionable morals and a creative approach to tuition payments, has kidnapped (and accidentally drugged) them to fund her college dreams. When the cousins’ friends form a crack “investigation squad,” Meg is forced to tag along, hilariously trying to derail their every clue. But when a nosy janitor spills the truth, Meg’s plan starts crumbling faster than a dorm cafeteria cookie. A chaotic rescue, a few accidental confessions, and plenty of campus drama later, the mystery is solved — though not before everyone learns that maybe college debt isn’t the only crime here.
