Andres de la Torre

Composer, Editor and Sound Designer. Born and raised in Madrid, Andrés started his career as a video editor in one of the leading production companies in Spain, MediaPro. His true passion, however, was to compose music for film. His first feature as a composer, Going Nuts (2006), had a theatrical release and was the first film in the world to feature peanuts as the main characters. The score earned Andrés national recognition with the Ateneo Coste Cero Award in 2008 for Best Soundtrack. Shortly after, Andrés wrote the music for the Spanish-North American co-production Disney: Through the Looking Glass (2010), a score that earned him his first Jerry Goldsmith Award after 5 years of consecutive nominations. In 2010, Andrés moved to Los Angeles to continue his education. He earned a Master's Degree from Chapman University, CA and soon started working in film production with directors of the stature of Randal Kleiser (Grease) and Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life). Currently, Andrés teaches aspiring filmmakers at The Los Angeles Film School as he continues his work as a composer, editor and sound designer. His latest works include Romany Malco's directorial debut Prison Logic (2018), the 3-hour mini-series Western Dead Men (2017), a new feature adaptation of Don Quixote of la Mancha (2014), produced by USC in collaboration with James Franco, and Randal Kleiser's experimental drama series Defrost (2017) a Virtual Reality experience, mixed in the new Dolby Atmos VR format.
