box office smash

‘The story of Office Man, who works in a box. He seems content fulfilling the requirements of his daily routine, until a computer error changes everything.’

I composed the score to this short film by Phil Dunn. As there’s little dialogue in the film, it allowed me to tell the story through the music. I was involved from the pre-production stage so I could absorb as many ideas and themes as possible.

“….Thomas Bell’s moving score, conveying both the poignant mundane and a euphoric freedom.”

“….Bell’s keen fusing of his composition to the pace of the film, ‘Box Office Smash’ is a stellar work of art meets filmmaking.”

"Box Office Smash" is almost dialog free - letting the score help push the story forward. It not only works, but sounds great doing it.”
