In Development

FILM/TV:

The Kukrejas – is a new TV pilot I recently wrote with director/co-creator Nikhil Mehta.

We Were An Island is having its first round of screenings and film festivals.  Check out the schedule here.  The film recently won awards for “Best Score” and “Best Cinematography” at the Berkshire Short Film Festival.

I am the Music Editor on Zola – a new film by Janicza Bravo (Lemon, Atlanta), edited by Joi McMillon (Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk), which will premiere at Sundance 2020.

THEATER:

How the Light Gets In – is a commission I just received from NYMF and The ASCAP Foundation to write a new 30 minute musical that was performed Dec 2nd in NYC with Hidden Cabaret at the Secret Room.  My piece is called “Pods: Or, the Uninhabitable Earth” and is a glam rock musical set in post climate change 2119, a time when the surviving humans are relegated to live in customizable pods Elon Musk designed for life on Mars.

Out of the Shadow – is a new educational musical I am working on with Bit Art Productions.  The show explores how blockchain technology can be used as a tool to fight Modern Slavery.

In A Sea of Faces will have a reading in January on Governor’s Island with Hypokrit Theater Company in preparation for a September 2020 production.  The show is also being developed with support from Roundabout Theater Company’s “Space Jam” residency program and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

The Disappearing Man was most recently in the NYMF Reading Series in July 2019.

MUSIC:

The Wellsongs Project is an album featuring songs written by New York theater composers in collaboration with teens with special needs.  I contributed a song and am currently recording the guitars and mixing the album, which will be released in 2020 on Broadway Records.

All the Things – is an EP I recorded with singer-songwriter Natalie Mishell that we will mix and master this winter.  The recordings feature performances by Jacob Fjeldheim, Ben Kogan, Brianna Leary, Rich Pagano and ourselves.  Natalie and I play duets on the third Saturday of every month at Dogfish Bar in Portland, ME, and will be performing at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles on January 2nd (tickets here), and Once Ballroom in Somerville, MA on January 28th with Ezra Furman.
