The composer of such films as The Art of Getting By, The First Time and Higher Ground has also composed the music for the thriller The Scribbler, which has recently been picked up for domestic distribution by XLrator Media. Also coming up for Puro is the indie drama Mall directed by Joseph Hahn and starring Vincent D’Onofrio, Gina Gershon, Peter Stormare and Cameron Monaghan. The composer collaborated with Linkin Park on the project, which is expected to premiere later this year.
