ABOUT JUSTIN MELLAND
Award winning film composer and multi-instrumentalist, Justin Melland primarily works in the demanding world of film and television, creating refreshingly inventive scores at his studio The Eleventh Laboratory, in Los Angeles, California. Justin is a classically trained composer, conductor and a soloist on Piano, Bass Saxophone, Contrabass Clarinet, and Guitarviol. He is also a cutting edge synthesist that creates all of the electronic textures in his scores from scratch. The Washington Post called out his score for THE KILL TEAM by Oscar nominated Director Dan Krauss as “A brilliantly spare and evocative soundtrack”. The Hollywood Reporter also wrote of his score for Showtime’s DARK NET “And the antiseptic visuals, coupled with the droning score by Justin Melland, suggest Laura Poitras’ Edward Snowden doc Citizenfour with a slightly pulpier edge.” The UK Film Review writes of Justin’s score for MOSQUITO: “The cherry on top of this intuitive approach to visual storytelling is the transcendent score that blends the diegetic with the fabricated.”
Justin has enjoyed working with many highly respected, award winning directors. Twice his work with Dan Krauss has been nominated for an Academy Award. First was The HBO Documentary Films: THE DEATH OF KEVIN CARTER ; CASUALTY OF THE BANG BANG CLUB in 2006, and again for the Netflix Original Documentary : EXTREMIS in 2016. Justin has also worked along side Oscar winning director Paul Haggis and Dan Krauss scoring their film 5B (World Premiere Cannes, 2019), and Oscar winning director Alex Gibney scoring his series for National Geographic called PARCHED along with it’s companion feature WATER AND POWER. The Melland-scored film IN FOOTBALL WE TRUST won an Emmy Award in 2017.
Recently, Justin scored both seasons of the STARZ Original Series WRONG MAN and the massive Netflix hit series: CONVERSATIONS WITH A KILLER : THE TED BUNDY TAPES with two time Emmy Award winning director Joe Berlinger. Justin is also working with Berlinger on his 4 part Netflix series JEFFREY EPSTEIN FILTHY RICH. Justin recently completed scoring the main titles, and 3 full episodes of the NETFLIX Original series : THE INNOCENCE FILES created by Oscar Nominee Liz Garbus (STORY SYNDICATE), and Oscar winner Alex Gibney (JIGSAW) and Netflix Original series SONS OF SAM : A DESCENT INTO DARKNESS for Radical Media with Sara Enright and Joshua Zeman. Most recently, Justin has completed scoring season two of CONVERSATIONS WITH A KILLER (NETFLIX – Radical Media) and HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND (NETFLIX -Jigsaw).
