Our documentary short, ‘Mother, Mother Ocean’ has officially been named WINNER of the BSTEM Project’s competition 2016! Both the judging team’s finalist, and the Audience Award Choice.

The film, created by Jamie Morrow & Christine Kilmer brings to light the issues of single-use plastic: As we go on with our lives, be conscious of the amount of throw-away plastic we use, and how we can avoid them. The health of the ocean is imperative to the health of the planet…

I’m very excited to share the first episode of Behind The Blinds. We had a wonderful premiere last night at Raleigh Studios! Episodes will be released every Thursday, 9:00am PST.

Behind The Blinds – the comedy series I had the pleasure to work on, will premiere on Feb 11th 2016. I can’t wait to share it! Created by Anna Skrypka, Charles Ancelle and Adrian Morales Ramos.

The series follows two Eastern European mobsters who decide to produce an independent film to launder money. The comedy soundtrack includes many different styles: Russian traditional themes, romantic moments, Mafia-style threatening music, some tribal music, expressive emotional moments, techno, and more exciting surprises. The score was recorded using LA’s best musicians, including balalaikas and guitars performance by the legendary Andrew Synowiec.
