Documentary

I have collaborated with the Los Angeles Times on several award winning documentary projects over the last several years. Some of these were long format pieces and others were series broken into several parts. I've included two recent projects below. Broken (2015) focuses on the lives of the people of San Bernardino, a city devastated by the financial crisis in 2007 and the poorest city of its size in California. Product of Mexico (2014) is a multi-part series that documents the exploitation and harsh conditions faced by laborers at Mexico’s mega-farms which are main suppliers of produce to American consumers. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2015. I composed the original music for both projects.

Technology

Tbh

Tbh is an app for giving anonymous feedback to friends. Unlike other anonymous apps, all the feedback is positive. I composed original music for content within the app. The app had 5 million downloads and 2.5 million active users in its first nine weeks after launch. It was recently acquired by Facebook. I wrote original music for content in the app (example below).
