About James
Owner at Orbital Sound, a digital creative media company.
James enjoys working with artists on their projects and he's had the privilege to record Loren Barrigar, who started playing guitar when he was only four years old, and by the time he was six, played the Chet Atkins hit “Yackety Axe” in front of thousands of country music fans at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and he's also worked with Grammy Award winner, Joanne Shenandoah who was a Native American singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in the United States. She was a citizen of the Oneida Indian Nation, Wolf clan, based in New York. Her music combined traditional melodies with a blend of modern instrumentation, and her lyrics conveyed her interests in nature, women's lives and Iroquois culture. Other artists include John E. Owens who played for the Platters and Gary U.S. Bonds, and artist Lois Dilivio who was Score Supervisor under Academy Award winner, Howard Shore at Abbey Road studios for the extended release of LOTR.
He helped co-write a comedy screenplay remake of Santa Claus Conquers The Martians with screenwriter D.K. DeVINE that was led in a table read by American actor Matt Malloy. The script made its way into the hands of one the founders at CAA where it is now, hopefully, still propping up the desk of some stormtrooper at the Death Star. Currently, D.K. DeVINE has transformed the screenplay adaptation into a musical theater play, and it was an accepted submission to the OPERAmerica's Campbell Opera Librettist Prize.
Wunderlich's media company, IDCP provides filmmakers and directors with affordable digital cinema packages (DCP) allowing their work to gain access to audiences on the big screens that movie theaters have to offer at festivals like the Hamilton New York International Film Festival.

It is our aim and hope to give them access to film industry professionals who can offer guidance and other forms of career assistance.

He's currently working on an animated short set in the Fae Wild.

Secret Santas Budget: $10M - $30M | Comedy "Welcome To Hope. Put On Your Coat And Stay Awhile!" (Visitor welcome sign outside of Hope, New York) There never was a town in greater need of a holiday scam or two sales reps in greater need of a town. When their boss thinks he has created the perfect sales team by pairing up nice guy Peter with obnoxious veteran media rep Phil Drake he sends them on a Night-Before-Christmas sales call to the tourist trap town of Hope. After ending up in the wrong place, serving time for a rash of charity thefts they didn't commit and losing their jobs, the pair write the book on how to extort money and ruin Hope's Annual Ice Hole Fishing Derby Contest. Posing as federal criminal investigators sent to investigate the crime spree, they enlist the aid of the mayor's office, the town flasher, and fall in with a prickly bar maid who wants nothing to do with the holidays or either one of them. With the help of her foul mouthed but adorable daughter the salesmen become unwitting Secret Santas in this seasonal holiday screenplay.

Aisha & The Water Dragon Adventure ⋄ Animation ⋄ Family ⋄ Fantasy A computer scientist employs advanced virtual reality to empower his granddaughter. Call Me Aisha. I've been told in order to get ahead in this world you have to make a lot of noise; but for a twelve year old who is introverted and soft-spoken that can be a problem. Bullied at my new school for having pointed ears and infrequent seizures; it doesn't help either that my middle name is Moon. When I received a mysterious and enchanting text message and print-out bus ticket to Frederick, Maryland from a Professor Atanasoff claiming to be my grandfather who wanted me to spend the summer with him away from the bullies of Long Island, I jumped at the chance to run away from my problems and meet the curious relative my parents had never mentioned. Dropped off along a deserted stretch of highway I was met by the ninety-one year old professor descending in a lighter-than-airship he called a vertical zeppelin. We sailed away to a place that is not on any map - as true places never are; and to my surprise, the charming fishing village of Rock Island was not only completely surrounded by water - it was actually in the water. A curious place altogether, its elvish inhabitants were rarely seen out and about at first, and the principal means of transportation are solely by boat, balloon - or combination of the two. My explorer's curiosity lead me on a summer's adventure of a lifetime in which I found the courage from within to stand up for a new friend and for myself in a world where bullying can happen to anyone.
