Jean Cocteau - Album Release

Towards the end of 2023 I began work on my first feature film score with renowned documentary Director Lisa Immordino Vreeland. Revolving around the queer French poet and artist, this documentary film is a poetic foray into Cocteau’s fascinating life and work. The film premiered at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival running from August - September in the foothills of the Colorado mountains.

Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, film director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost artists of the surrealist, avant-garde, and Dadaist movements and an influential figure in early 20th century art. The film is a poetic portrait of his life, philosophies and work.
