The Mating Game

Two weeks ago, I composed music for the romantic comedy "The Mating Game", the Phoenix Independent Film Makers Group's entry in the IFP-Phoenix 48-hr film challenge.

There were 30 or so teams that participated- the screening this Thursday involved more spatula-related homicides than most of my evenings out.
