the music I made for film and TV

I've been fortunate to have, so far, written the music for four independent films. The first, "Offing David", shot in 2008, is an Australian crime/mystery film, and is where now established actors such as Nathaniel Buzolic and Adam J. Yeend got their first roles.

After that I wrote music for three more films: "Encoberto", a film by the 3rd year film students of the year 2021-22 at the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema, which won in the category of Best Fiction Short Film at the Sophia Student Awards in 2023, and "Curaçao" (2025) and "Colapso" (2026), two short films for the 48 Hours Film Project festival - Lisbon, with "Colapso" winning the award for Best Original Soundtrack.
