Short film Almost Midnight / Skoraj Polnoč
My second collaboration with the Slovenian director Jan Fabris. The sound was mixed by the renowned Slovenian sound designer and audio superviser Julij Zornik. This short film will start travelling to festivals in 2020!
Music in the trailer is a special edit of the soundtrack, but otherwise that’s the cue from the film.
Blue Bunny First Awards
The short film Modri zajček / Blue Bunny that I had the pleasure to write music for, was selected for several festivals and has won two awards at the Mindfield Film Festival – Albuquerque, as well as a very fitting “Best Original Idea” at the Top Indie Film Awards in Tokyo.
The same festival has honored me with a nomination for the Best Music.
And most of the crew gathered together at the Slovenian FLIF Festival last weekend for the screening.
Rudhiram Short Film Poster
Short film Rudhiram I have written original music for will be available soon to watch online. This is a film in Mayalayam language filmed in the United States. Drama and tension building that was a lot of fun to score, plus a more emotional theme that naturally developed in the process.
UPD: the film is now freely available to watch on YouTube.
Blue Bunny / Modri zajček
I am very happy that my first Slovenian film, Modri zajček / Blue Bunny directed by Jan Fabris, is completed. Here is the teaser/trailer. This is an independent project made in Slovenia that will be distributed with the help of Blade Production.
The music in the trailer is an edit of my soundtrack from the film.
Burdie Short Animation
Here is Burdie, a funny little cartoon about a bird that is too chubby to fly. This animated short film was created by a young talented animator from the United States Justina Hnatowicz and features my original soundtrack.
It was a really smooth process scoring this animation and we have found the soundtrack style very quickly: fun, catchy and with a bit of a retro touch. I did some post audio editing and mixing, but most sound design was recorded by Justina herself.
Endless Summer, ZFF72
I have united with a small enthusiastic team from Switzerland to create a 72-second short film in 72 hours for ZFF72 competition, which is part of the Zurich Film Festival.
UPD: We have won the Audience Award!
Here is the film:
