About me
My name is Dennis S. Mowers and I want to give your story a voice.When I was a kid from Rochester, I started playing the trumpet. Shortly after, I knew music was for me. I had always been fond of film scores growing up, raving about how amazing John Williams, John Powell, and Murray Gold were. After spending most of high school writing arrangements of various themes I liked from video game and movies, I ended up going to college for trumpet performance. After a while, though, it became clear to me that performing was not my forte. I became more and more drawn to composition, especially for media.
One day, I decided that I wanted to be a film composer. So I put myself out there and started to get students from the college wanting their films scored. I invested in the equipment I needed, and landed an internship at a video game company as a composer. After the internship, where I composed music for a Nintendo Switch game, they ended up hiring me. After working on many films, games, podcasts, and other media including a novel, I ended up going to graduate school for the very thing I enjoyed doing: composing music for film and other media.
When I say I want to give your story a voice, I mean I want to help it speak. Any story can talk, but music can help a story breathe, laugh, and cry. It's the missing component that can give relief to tension, tension to relief, or it can punch you in the gut or make your mind bleed. This is what I want to do for your story, the same way hundreds of films have done for me.
Additional skills:
I am proficient in Logic Pro X, Reaper, Pro Tools, and Finale.
Industry awards:
A short film that I completed work on recently (sound editing and music) called "Gone Fishing" was accepted into a festival, is a semi-finalist in another festival, and won Judge's Choice at the Best Global Shorts festival. I've had a couple other films show at festivals as well.
Referees:
Robert Mullin: "Listen to his music, and you will know that Dennis is going places. He is a powerful force in the list of up-and-coming composers, and a great guy, to boot."

Additional information:
I am attending the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema to pursue an MFA in Media Scoring, and have a Bachelor of Music from Purchase College.
