TV & Film

High Profits:

This Emmy-nominated series was produced by Batbridge Entertainment for CNN and documents what happens to a tourist-town marijuana dispensary in the first months after legalization hits Colorado. Now available on Netflix.

My 600 LB Life:

As a reference, I was handed tracks featuring downtempo synths mixed with banjo. That doesn’t happen everyday, so when it does, you gotta run with it. Produced by Megalomedia for TLC.

When I Rise:

Produced by Alpheus Media, When I Rise debuted at South By Southwest in 2010 and went on to air several times on PBS’ Independent Lens. An amazing story about an amazing woman, opera singer Barbara Conrad.

Wild Texas Weather:

Produced by the indefatigable John Lewis for the Bob Bullock State History Museum. I wrote and produced original blues songs for Toni Price, Omar Dykes and Carolyn Wonderland to sing. It doesn’t get much more Austin than that.

Shipping Wars:

Following on the heels of A&E’s success with Storage Wars, this show is the reason I finally own Led Zeppellin IV and AC/DC’s Back in Black. Seven seasons, 100 episodes, lots and lots of stuff.

Quints By Surprise:

At one point, my music was deemed too sinister for a show about babies. I received the following notes for revising the cue: “More Thomas the Tank Engine, less Murder on the Orient Express.”

Shipwrecked:

Produced by Cortina Productions, this historical dramatization of a disastrous 17th-century French expedition to the New World is currently screening at the Bob Bullock State History Museum in Austin, TX.
