I loved getting to work with director Timothy Woodward, Jr. on this film. I've truly never had a director trust my scoring sensibilities as brilliantly as he has. While giving thorough guidance on the direction of the film's story he has trusted my ability to tell this story through music in a way that I never have before. A composer's dream.
