Your Film Roles Sound, Musician, Sound Editing
Bio

I picked up guitar at age 12 and immediately started composing my own songs. I attended the University of Chicago where I studied composition. After college, most of my music effort went towards writing songs and performing in bands in Chicago. Following the COVID-19 lockdown, I attended the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program where I studied under Emmy award-winning composer Hummie Mann. There, I combined my preexisting knowledge of theory and composition with studies in writing for film.

I am a jazz musician by training, but I also have extensive experience with orchestral, rock, electronic, and world music. I am equally comfortable leading musicians from the bandstand as a conductor or creating my own digital instruments for use in scores. I love all types of film, but my favorite genres are psychological thrillers, science fiction, and all types of independent film. My favorite film composers include Mica Levi, Theodore Shapiro, Johnny Greenwood, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Nicholas Britell.

First Name Josh
Last Name McCausland
Headshot
Your Film Roles Producer, Director, Cinematographer, Sound, Editing, Musician, Television, Feature Films
Bio

Josh McCausland’s work approaches visual reality from its own unique angle.

As both a videographer and graphic designer, Josh is comfortable reconciling the real with the imagined, and it shows in what he creates. His work is refreshing, and exhibits a cleanliness that is never too removed from humanity.

Healing plays a large part in creation for Josh as “an outward expression for internal struggles.” Art is his way of continuing to exist “as a child in the living room sketching on the floor, with no restrictions and no worries.”

It is this feeling of freedom that Josh’s work truly captures, allowing everyone who interacts with it a much-needed moment of peace in its simple beauty and effortless elegance.

In his pursuits, Josh has completed a BFA at Cumberland University with a major in Entertainment Design and a minor in film studies. He developed his own film company, iQ Flicks during college and now maintains his small business while working full-time for Relativity creating in house video work.

Hi, I’m Casey, a Midwest based pianist/electronic composer for film, television, commercials, and other cinematics.
 
I attended Missouri State University and graduated from their selective Electronic Arts – Audio Studies program in 2018 after completing composition work on my thesis film, Dust (Winner of the Best of Festival Music & Audio award for BEA Festival of Media & Arts 2019). I am currently working towards a MFA degree in Music Composition for the Screen at Columbia College Chicago.
 
I also work as an audio engineer at National Audio Company – the last remaining cassette manufacturing company in the States. This has given me the wonderful opportunity to learn more about signal processing, recording techniques, and mixing for the analog format.
