Los Angeles, CA<\/p>\n

I play clarinet, piano, guitar, and a variety of exotic woodwind instruments from around the world, and reside in Los Angeles, where it’s possible to surf and snowboard in the same day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"shaw.george3\"Who are you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a lover of music and film, and am fortunate to combine my two loves in my career as a composer for film and television. I have written music for many independent films, a few trailers (most recently Peacock, which stars Ellen Page and Susan Sarandon), and some webseries (most notably with Wong Fu Productions).<\/p>\n

What do you do? <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I compose, produce, and arrange music for film, television, and various forms of media. I play clarinet, piano, guitar, and a variety of exotic woodwind instruments from around the world, and reside in Los Angeles, where it’s possible to surf and snowboard in the same day.<\/p>\n

I’ve worked on Hollywood and independent films crafting rich orchestral scores to match the visual images on the screen. In the past, I’ve received 3 best score nominations for the 2007 Film & TV Music Awards, won Best Music in a Short at the Garden State Film Festival Movie Music Competition, and 5 Gold Medals at the Park City Film Music Festival.<\/p>\n

My TV work includes producing music tracks for performances on <\/span>AMERICA’S GOT TALENT<\/span>, and I have licensed music to shows such as <\/span>AMERICA’S GOT TALENT<\/span>, <\/span>SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE<\/span>, <\/span>MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER<\/span>, <\/span>MOMMA’S BOY<\/span>, <\/span>MY ANTONIO<\/span>, and <\/span>OBSESSED<\/span>. I have also orchestrated on a number of films, including <\/span>GHOST RIDER<\/span> (starring <\/span>Nicolas Cage<\/span>), <\/span>DARWIN AWARDS<\/span> (starring <\/span>Winona Ryder<\/span>, <\/span>Joseph Fiennes<\/span>), <\/span>KISS, KISS, BANG, BANG<\/span> (starring <\/span>Val Kilmer<\/span>, <\/span>Robert Downey Jr.<\/span>), <\/span>ROBOTECH: THE SHADOW CHRONICLES<\/span>, and <\/span>CHASING GHOSTS <\/span>(starring <\/span>Michael Madsen<\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are you proud to be of Taiwanese heritage?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I am 2nd generation, and love Taiwanese food! Especially Beef Noodle Soup. I visited Taiwan last summer for a wedding and all I did was eat. There’s also a pretty large Taiwanese American community in Los Angeles, and I have met some amazing people through the community.<\/p>\n
