Micah Dahl Anderson

Composer

Micah Dahl Anderson is an Academy Award-winning composer based in the Rocky Mountains. With roots in indie, Micah's multi-instrumental capabilities and pursuits for unique compositions has led to award-winning soundtracks that blend traditional formats with unexpected approaches-even if that means inventing new instruments to capture the sound that's missing. He has composed for 14 feature films, four television series, and has been featured on ABC, Lifetime, multiple programs for PBS, and NatGeo. He has composed music performed by the Utah Symphony, and is a two-time Emmy winner for his contributions to the television series Beehive Stories.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
