Christopher First
Composer

I always thought that every film is a musical. Regardless of the subject matter, the underscore makes the statements heartfelt and compelling. Christopher provided over 50 minutes of original underscore and additional music cues for The World Without US. The score infuses classic orchestral elements with contemporary styles to provide a musical backdrop for the film.
    Christopher is a composer/musician with over 20 years of experience. His composition credits include film, works for choir and orchestra and his own touring Christmas group that has received national attention and airplay.
