While at CalArts, he studied with Karen Tanaka to understand all the layers, subtext, orchestral thought, and themes to be brought out within the film score, which reflect the inner worlds of characters and the narrative arc. He also studied with Steve Horowitz, composer for Super Size Me, who imparted the importance of realizing a director’s vision, staying humble and optimistic, and being happy to do as many passes for a score as possible, as well as best practices in spotting and more.
