Canadian film composer Ryan Shore's diverse background of orchestral, contemporary and jazz music, combined with his abilities to compose memorable music, to be highly collaborative, and to deliver music on time and on budget, has quickly moved him to the forefront of sought after film composers today.

Ryan just completed the scores for The Shrine (Anchor Bay) and the musical Rising Stars, an independent film in the vein of High School Musical.

Ryan had six movies released in the last quarter or 2009: Stan Helsing (Anchor Bay), Home Movie (Anchor Bay), Cabin Fever 2 (Lions Gate), Offspring (Lions Gate), Made For Each Other (IFC), and Articles of War which he recorded at the Skywalker Ranch with the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra.

Shore's recent scores include Prime (Universal Studios) starring Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman; Harvard Man (Lions Gate) starring Adrian Grenier and Sarah Michelle Gellar; Scout's Honor starring Bill Murray and Alec Baldwin; Vulgar (Lions Gate) produced by Kevin Smith; and The Girl Next Door (Anchor Bay). He also composed original, on-camera music for Fur, starring Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey, Jr., for which he was seen in the film performing his original music.

Recent releases include the comedy Lower Learning (Starz Entertainment) starring Jason Biggs, Eva Longoria, Rob Corddry, Monica Potter, Will Sasso, Ed Helms and Kyle Gass; Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (Anchor Bay) starring Robert Englund, which Ryan recorded and conducted with the 93-piece Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra; the animation feature, Articles of War, which he recorded and conducted with the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra at the Skywalker Ranch; Numb starring Matthew Perry and Mary Steenburgen; Shadows, written and directed by Academy Award nominee Milcho Manchevski, which has been selected as Macedonia's official submission for the 2008 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film; the Southern comedy Skiptracers; the psychological horror Home Movie (Anchor Bay); and Made for Each Other starring Bijou Phillips, Danny Masterson, Chris Masterson and Patrick Warburton.

For his score for Cadaverous, he received the Elmer Bernstein Scoring Award, which was personally adjudicated and presented by Academy Award winning composer Elmer Bernstein (To Kill a Mockingbird, The Magnificent Seven), with Mr. Bernstein commenting that "a special marriage has taken place between the music and the film".

Shore's scores also include Kettle of Fish starring Matthew Modine and Gina Gershon; Lift starring Kerry Washington (Ray); Headspace starring William Atherton (Ghostbusters) and Dee Wallace-Stone (E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial); Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss (20th Century Fox) starring Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos); Confession starring Chris Pine (Star Trek), 212 (Sundance Film Festival); and Coney Island Baby (Sundance Channel). Shore's extensive work in film also includes producing the music for the Saturday Night Live Studios theatrical logo, orchestrations for Analyze This (Warner Brothers) and Dogma (Lions Gate); and source music arranging for The Game (PolyGram Filmed Entertainment).
