Our passion project “Impact the Future” is ready for you to experience. Headphones-on/earbuds-in, as we co-wrote the epic soundtrack to boot.

In addition to producing this project from pre-pro through directing, and every element of post (editing, color grading, sfx, audio mixing), we also collaborated with Emmy nominated composer Christian Moder in writing the musical score.

When you watch (LISTEN) to this piece, you will perceive that we built the film into 5 distinct chapters, or sections. Each chapter becomes its own song - and each song is penned to parallel the root emotion being played out. This music writing method is an interesting technique to keep the piece fresh and allows the score to agilely take diversions down pathways that support the unfolding story.

Stay safe. Stay creative. Be positive. Let’s Zoom! Let’s shoot!  🛠, SAW

Well, within reason, of course. We have Covid Production Protocols in place and work with crew that takes precaution seriously. We are networked for you to view remotely, or safely on set with us in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Give me a call and I will walk you through our new workflow.
