Film Scores:

Joel Harrison has worked on documentary film scores for HBO, History Channel, A&E, Court TV, TLC, and more. His most prominent films have been HBO’s “Southern Comfort”, which won top honors at Sundance in 2000 and went on to receive worldwide acclaim, and “Scopes: The Battle Over America’s Soul” from the History Channel’s series “10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America”, which was nominated for an Emmy in 2006. Harrison brings a unique perspective to his scoring, due to his incredibly eclectic background- American roots, rock n’ roll, classical, jazz, pop, electronic, urban contemporary, avant-garde…it is all part of his palette.

"Joel Harrison has been composing scores for our films for more than ten years. His work ranges from intimate to orchestral to electronic to moody and deep into the American folk vernacular. He's a master instrumentalist with a sensitivity to the filmed image and written work that infuses his work with serious artistry and great heart."
