Roman Zeitlin has spent over two decades as a storyteller who works in sound — using music, sound design, and mixing as a single, unified creative tool to help filmmakers and brands tell their stories. Not just a score. Not just a mix. All of it, working together.
His film work spans documentary and narrative shorts across a wide range of subjects and scales. Recent credits include Roads of Fire, a Santa Barbara Film Festival award-winner about the global migration crisis, now in theaters and on Amazon and Apple TV; Don't Leave Me Behind, the MTV documentary following teenage Ukrainian refugees; The Prophet, directed by journalist and author Melissa Francis; Bring the Family Home, following rapper and activist Kosha Dillz; The Pink, which screened at Fantasia Film Festival; and In the Garden of Tulips.
With over twenty years in advertising, he has collaborated with some of the world's most recognized brands — crafting the music and sound that makes campaigns stick, from sonic identities and jingles to full mixes for broadcast and digital. Clients include SONY, Coca-Cola, Google, IKEA, IBM, Heineken, Hilton, and Diageo, among many others.
