He acted as music supervisor for The Builder and The Comedy, and has  gone on to work with director Joe Swanberg on Drinking Buddies (2013).  He is currently working on three other film projects that are in  production.\n\nIn 2011, Swanson co-founded the artist management  company Fort William Artist Management, with Ami Spishock, Ben Swanson  and Darius Van Arman.
