One of only four Australian composers short-listed for a ‘Best Score’ Oscar nomination at the 89th Academy Awards, Swiss-born Ronnie Minder has rapidly achieved exciting things in the world of film scoring since 2014. His first feature score for the Australian Western The Legend of Ben Hall (Executive produced by Greg McLean ‘Wolf Creek’) earned him global recognition, receiving major support from the US and earning him ‘Best Score’ at the Oniros Film Awards and ‘Best Composer’ at the ASIN Awards. Minder also composed the score for Diana Fisk’s inspiring television film True Vision (Executive produced by Sue Maslin ‘The Dressmaker’) and recently scored Sea Shepherd’s first award-winning feature film Defend, Conserve, Protect, narrated by Dan Aykroyd.

After having accumulated a wealth of experience in writing, composing and producing since his early teens, Minder’s unique sound, memorable themes and passion for music attracted the attention from filmmakers worldwide. He scored the award-winning Ren Kyst (Produced by Verity White, BBC), We are the Marine Society (Narrated by Simon Reeve) and he’s scoring another year of media wall films for one of the largest toll road operators in North-America and Australia Transurban. Minder continues to forge relationships with film makers across the world and he scored several TV campaigns for Porsche, starring Patrick Dempsey. He frequently collaborates with award-winning Bengar Films, scoring big budget TV projects and commercials. International films, documentaries & media projects he scored were seen by millions of people on HBO, video sharing sites and VOD platforms. His scores are often featured on iTunes US and Canada amongst composers such as Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat, James Horner and Ennio Morricone.

Minder is excited to relocate to Los Angeles in the coming years to further his career. Already having been offered major LA based projects, Minder is ready to take this next exciting step in his flourishing scoring career.
