I am proud to have been associated with/written the music/scored for two films this past year that have been nominated or won awards: 'Elegantia' won the 48hr mvp competition in Houston last Oct with 8 awards and then went to represent Houston and placed 2nd to Paris internationally at Filmapalooza with four more awards. Both competitions gave best DP awards to a great DP here in Houston, David Nguyen. Elegantia has since shown at the Memphis Film & Music Festival in April and has just been chosen to show at the Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival in October. "Gift Of Grace" (also known as "Born Dead") has been chosen as one of two finalists in its category at the upcoming 168film festival in LA - second weekend of Sept. I will be there along with the director/filmmaker, Mark Baird and some of the actors/crew. This film was also accepted into the Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival so I will have two films with my music at the same festival (my first time). Not bad - 2 of my list 5 films with awards or nominations. Check me out here or at: www.imdb.com/name/nm5688919 Or listen to some of my music at: www.icompositions.com/artists/joelirwin Or watch some of videos/performance/films at: www.youtube.com/joelirwin (I also tweet and FB at /joelirwin)

Congratulations. It must be amazing to use film as a catalyst to create original music.
About the only "high" I get in the music biz greater than hearing my music support a film on screen, is to hear my music (or music of others I have arranged) played by a large ensemble like a big band or orchestra. Here is a great example - while not my composition, I wrote the 'charts' and this was the first time they saw it: https://www.stage32.com/media/644309202969309144
