“There are so many amazing things about working with Dave, it's tough to sum it all up in a few words. One of my favorite experiences working with Dave is that he can come up with something right on the spot. He is so talented and experienced, it's like it's easy for him.”
-Rosser Goodman (Director of “Love or Whatever”)
“I have worked with Dave on three projects so far, each one of those different in genre, and though undoubtedly his professionalism and reliability are of the highest caliber, it is his immeasurable talent, vision, and deep understanding of films that makes him truly unique and in a class of his own.”
-Mo Anouti (Producer of “Hero of The Day” and “Orbs”)
“From the very beginning of composing the score to our project, Sustaining Life, Dave exhibited an unparalleled attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to professionalism. As the director of six full length documentary films, I have had a lot of experience working with composers throughout the industry and not a single one compares to Dave in both reliability to deliver on time and an incredible intuitive brilliance to know exactly what will fit the director's vision. In our very first concept meeting Dave immersed himself into the project with a level of passion that was only matched by my own. He asked questions and proposed ideas that not only were never considered by our team, but also transformed some of the segments to a whole new level. From original concept to final execution, he meticulously communicated and over delivered on every part of the contract. Dave Holden's ability to blend quality artistic compositions with real-world deliverability makes him my standout choice as the industry's best. Hire him!”
-Robert Hess (Director of “Sustaining Life”)
“Dave Holden is a musical magician. His music is downright amazing, and he totally understands what a film needs musically. As an added bonus, he's also reliable, on top of being incredibly creative and talented. I've had the pleasure of working with him on multiple projects, including an action piece, a heartfelt drama feature, a creature monster movie, and most recently a supernatural horror film. Regardless of the genre, his music is dead on. I look forward to working with him on many more projects.”
-Eddie Conna (Director of "The Caregiver", "Hero of the Day", "Alien Hunger", and
"Orbs")
“The first time I met Dave in person, we ended up talking for nearly six hours about the script, movie scores, movies in general, and everything else imaginable. Needless to say, he was very well prepared and genuinely cared about the project. When it came time to score my feature film, he went WAY BEYOND any and all of my expectations! He listened and responded to the few notes I had with an opinion I valued and trusted. I have no doubt in my mind that he will be scoring my next film. Any director would be so lucky to have the opportunity to work with Dave.”
-David McElroy (Director of “After Effect”)
“I had the pleasure of working with Dave on my feature dramedy Grey Sheep. From the first moment I met him, I knew that my project was in the right hands. Dave absolutely loves his job, he comes with great talent and boundless musical creativity, and his work ethic is remarkable. If he commits to a project, he gives it 100% of his attention and dedication – until it’s perfect. Dave is not afraid to go against the tide and present you with bold ideas, but most importantly he makes sure that you’re thoroughly happy with the score. He is reliable at all times and delivers his work on the dot. I look forward to teaming up with him again in the future.”
-Nicolai Schwierz (Director of “Grey Sheep”)
