InAlienable


Still guilt-ridden over the accident that took his family's lives, Eric Norris discovers that his body is host to a parasite from another world. Except, it is more than a parasite: it carries his DNA. Is this his new son or--as the government believes--a threat to mankind?

"InAlienable" stars Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica), Courtney Peldon (Boston Public), Marina Sirtis (Star Trek: Next Generation), Erick Avari (Stargate, Heroes) and Walter Koenig (original Star Trek). The strong supporting cast includes Jay Acovone (Stargate SG-1), Judy Levitt (Babylon 5), Andrew Koenig (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Pat Tallman (Babylon 5), Gary Graham (Alien Nation, Star Trek: Enterprise), Alan Ruck (Star Trek: Generations, Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Philip Anthony Rodriguez (Jake 2.0, Star Trek: Enterprise) and Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager)

"New Stuff" -

welp... I've created a BUNCH of new stuff.. but I've been slacking on the updates here at my edgen.com site. So, instead of typing everything out again, you can just click HERE to see the new stuff and listen. I'll update this page when I release new albums or really awesomeness stuff that's so awesome I can't retain my stupidness.

Raiders Over Tokyo Trailer

One thing that comes to mind that's just so awesomeness is a new trailer I just finished and to announce I'm scoring a new Star Trek mini series called, "Of Gods and Men" starring some of the original cast members to Star Trek and the TV shows. It is scheduled to be released over the internet only sometime in April.

Other stuff was that my music was recently in the SONY Pictures film, 'Stomp The Yard' TV Trailer. I personally have not seen the spot yet. Guess I need to watch more TV eh?

Another cool thing was that the film, "Where Silence Falls" placed 2nd in the online short film competition, DVXuser.com DramaFest. It was directed by Norm Sanders. I have also released a bunch of music from the other 3 films I scored for the competition.

and for the giggles... a little BTS video :)

It's in our nature to kill ourselves. It's in our nature to fall over the troubled hardships of life and it seems as though everyone has had a turn for the worst. It's in our nature to help those who are in time of need and it's in our nature to just as easily ignore them. It's in our nature to completely think only of ourselves. Sad Track. Cello and Piano.
