Documentary Films. Some of Kevan and my most collaborative efforts were on documentaries where we could combine our music and sound design sensibilities together. Here are some of the documentary films we worked on over the years.

The Autism Enigma

The Autism Enigma is a film that looks at the progress of an international group of scientists who are looking for clues to this baffling disorder. Written and produced by Marion Gruner and Chris Sumpton for Cogent-Benger Productions as part of CBC’s “The Nature of Things with David Suzuki”.

Recorded, edited and mixed at Rhythm Division with music by Kevan Staples.
