When composing for film, every note begins with the story. Before I touch an instrument or write a single melody, I immerse myself in the script, analyzing its characters, emotional arcs, and deeper themes. I’m not just looking for what’s on the surface but for the subtext—the unspoken emotions, tensions, and nuances that music can bring to life. This is where the heart of my work lies: discovering how sound can enhance storytelling without overshadowing it. Once I’ve internalized the narrative, I experiment with textures, motifs, and instrumentation, searching for a sonic palette that complements the world of the film. Collaboration is vital; I work closely with the director and creative team, fine-tuning each cue to align with their vision while staying true to the emotional core of the story. Whether it’s a haunting theme that lingers in the background or a sweeping orchestral moment that brings the audience to tears, my goal is always to create a score that feels like an invisible character—one that subtly yet powerfully guides viewers through the film’s journey.
