ULTRAVIOLET is a documentary short following one of New York City's most captivating and unique musicians: E.W. Harris. E.W has the kind of artistic voice that feels like it's from another world. Like you've been privileged to hear something that both wasn't meant for you, but you've been waiting for.

A little over two years ago, I met E.W. at a show about the composer Arnold Schoenberg that I was hired to film. E.W. was the event's sound engineer; but towards the end of the night he was asked to play some of his original music to close us out. And the rest, as they say, is history.

E.W.'s music captivated me and everyone in attendance. Sharing a bit of both his story and his creative process has been such a joy. I find E.W.'s connection to his art and his reasons for creating to be every bit as powerful as the music itself.

"Music really is an avenue where I feel like it's a safe space for me to do emotions. I don't really know how else to express it."
                                - E.W. Harris

"You have a meat trumpet inside of you. And you use this thing at the end that is your mouth to make that make sense."
