The Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis produced some online trailers to promote its 2009-10 Ruth Easton New Play series. Hayley Finn directed, James Parvin shot and cut the visuals, and I came aboard for all things audio-- original music, location recording, Foley, and sound design. Video excerpts above.
A couple of mp3 samples from the trailers:
"THE SENSE OF WHAT SHOULD BE"
BY DOMINIC ORLANDO
The idea here was to evoke the over-the-top melodrama of a comic book film, so I concocted a variety of tense orchestral cues reminiscent of classic thriller suspense.

"RICH GIRL"
BY VICTORIA STEWART
This trailer appropriated the sensibility of Woody Allen's documentary-style outings, so some clarinet jazz seemed appropriate.
