Next to writing for his own bands and projects, Mario also provides soundtracks and themesongs. In 2012, Mario produced the soundtrack for Peter Monsaert’s debut movie ‘Offline’ with his fellow musicians of Triggerfinger. This was basically the set off for songwriting and scoring.
Later work involves ex-Hooverphonic colleague David Poltrock, with whom he teamed up for ‘Safety First’ (2015), a movie by Tim Van Aelst, the man who also produced ‘Benidorm Bastards’, a worldwide success series featuring pensioners and a candid camera.
‘Paradise City’ is another project from Mario, a TV series in which Mario and co-writer and producer Karel Van Mileghem dwelled disaster-stricken cities around the world such as Hiroshima, Belfast, Port-au-Prince, Detroit, New Orleans and Kigali in search of the meaning of music for the recovery of those communities.
Mario also pimped a Dutch kids series from the Seventies to a modern 2.0 version and wrote, perfomed and recorded the complete soundtrack (Fabeltjeskrant, 2019).
Recently he provides the themesongs and soundtracks for the télénovelle 'Lisa' (2020), the tv-show 'That's love' (2020) and the series Studio Tarara (2019) and 'Billie vs Benjamin' (2021).
