Justin Bell is an architect of sound, who focuses on building an emotionally complex score. Dedicated to subtle details combined with an ever-present consideration of the bigger picture, Justin works closely with collaborators to keep the emotional intent of both the scene and the arc of the full project in mind.
Justin began his career working with composer Johnny Klimek, learning to work in a team, handling orchestrations, arrangements, and writing for major TV and film projects like The Matrix: Resurrections, Cloud Atlas, and Sense8. While this gave him practice working with long form projects and seeing the design from beginning to end first hand, it wasn't until the psychological thriller "Trent" in 2015 that he first struck out on his own, scoring a feature length film. Designing and interweaving themes, his unique scoring earned him an Award of Excellence from the Accolade Film Awards.
Since "Trent", Justin has scored several feature films, ranging from quirky indie with "Miles" to unsettling synths in "Affairs Of State." To each project, he brings his laser focus on the story to bear on designing a unique musical experience that serves the film and enhances the story.
