TESTIMONIALS "We
had a dauntingly difficult challenge with our film BULLRIDER. We needed
a huge score, with a variety of different styles written and produced
rapidly. Composer David Jones was the find of the decade: Attitude:
A+. Speed: A+. Creativity and Range: A+ Execution: Another A+" “David expressed great talent, enthusiasm
and commitment to each project. Not only did he deliver a great score
for each film, his music was so powerful it shaped the way the film
was edited and how we approached the final version of the film. He has
always been on time with deadlines and has always exceeded the required
workload and this, in turn, gave each film the final push it needed."
