Nima Fakhrara has honed his craft for nearly twenty years by scoring more than 100 feature films, multiple AAA game franchises. This led acclaimed director Anna Forester to tap Nima as composer for Bad Robot’s latest feature film LOU (2022, starring Academy Award winner Allison Janney). His unique blend of East-meets-West and command of striking, sonic textures and timbres led gaming legend David Cage to select him for critically acclaimed DETROIT BECOME HUMAN and the annoucment to the Star Wars video game franchise ECLIPSE. Nima’s notable collaboration are Golden Globe winner Hany Abu Assad (PARADISE NOW) and horror legend Kevin Williamson (SCREAM) on their films THE COURIER and SICK, respectively. Other notable credits: Jonathan Millott and Cary Murnion’s modern cult-classic BECKY, John Stalberg’s CRYPTO, and the final Wes Craven production THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS. While his music is found all over the American media landscape, the composer’s musical journey started back in Tehran at age five. Young Nima lugged his santur up six flights of stairs for each lesson with a master instructor. This early education imbued Fakhrara with a firm grasp of Persian classical music, an unyielding discipline, and a knack for complex rhythms. Fakhrara later earned a degree in composition while simultaneously studying ethnomusicology and Music Anthropology. If Fakhrara can’t find the instruments to produce the sounds inside his head, he literally builds them.
