Image taken for the 2024 documentary film “Pioneers of Film Music”
I was included in a European documentary feature for ARTE called "Pioneers of Film Music". The film focuses on the link between composers who emigrated to Hollywood from Europe in the 1930s-40s and composers like myself working today. The section where I am featured highlights excerpts from my Symphony for Orchestra and Two Pianos and upcoming Symphony No. 2 as well as my score for Star Trek VI.
