Charles Rogers & Autumn Whispers

My good friend, director Charles Rogers, has recently launched a new website. You can check it out here: http://www.charlesrogersfilms.com/

I worked with Charles last year on his wonderful short film, “Oysters Rockefeller”, which starred Susan Jeffries and Hale Appleman.

Charles’s has a hilarious new short film called “Autumn Whispers”. Currently in post-production, “Autumn Whispers” features a tyrannical child film director and the unfortunate actors that have been forced to work for him.

I’ll be scoring Autumn Whispers with Charles in March. Always a fun time on his films!

We are proud to announce that Jonathan Hartman recently completed scoring the feature film “The Employer”.

Written and directed by Frank Merle for Hyrax Entertainment, the film stars Malcolm McDowell, Paige Howard, David Dastmalchian, Michael De Lorenzo, and features Billy Zane. The psychological thriller is about a group of 5 abducted strangers who find themselves mysteriously locked in a room together, pawns in Malcolm McDowell’s game to find the next corporate team member.

Jonathan composed 75 minutes of original score for “The Employer”, which featured a lush hybrid sound of orchestral strings and electronics. Hyrax Entertainment will release a soundtrack album to coincide with the release of the film in 2012. Select samples will be available on this site soon.

The Employer

I am pleased to announce that I am currently scoring “The Employer”, a new feature film by Director Frank Merle. ”The Employer” stars Malcolm McDowell, Paige Howard, and David Dastmalchian. It also features Michael DeLorenzo and Billy Zane. It is being produced by Hyrax Entertainment and will be released in 2012.

“The Employer” is an amazing psychological thriller, as five people try to solve the mystery that connects them, while being challenged by the incomparable Malcolm McDowell. It’s a film with great characters and a lot of twists. It’s been a real pleasure working with director Frank Merle and adding my musical talents to the mystery at the heart of this story!

Look for it in 2012!
