I can’t begin to express how much I absolutely loved working with Dave and Phil on the original score and source cues for RUN WILD. Their creative instincts, extraordinary musicianship, and openness to experimentation made the entire process an absolute joy. From our earliest conversations they understood the emotional landscape I wanted to build and helped translate that into sound with sensitivity and imagination. 

When Dave proposed recording live with musicians at Hat Creek Recording Company in Jonesborough, TN, I was stunned – inspired by the idea but unsure how we’d make it happen. It felt ambitious, maybe even out of reach for ‘just a little short film.’ But with the generous support of Jimmy Saal and Mike Bernos, we were able to bring this ambitiousvision to life. The recording sessions were electric – filled with spontaneity, laughter, tears and a shared sense of purpose. Each musician and vocalist brought their own flavor, and together we created a sonic world that felt raw, alive, and deeply connected to the story. This collaboration wasn’t just about sound – it was about trust, intuition, and the magic that happens when artists come together with a shared dream and willingness to leap.
