Brad Johnson, Daisy If You Do Productions
Director, CHAT
"Working with Tara was an absolute blessing for our project. Her insight into the story, and the collaborative manner in which she then crafted our score truly elevated the film to another level. Tara truly became both a member of our team and a friend,
and I can't wait to work with her again soon."
Taunya Gren, Metal Rat Media
Writer & Director, La Belle Dame Sans Merci - HATE
"Tara did the soundtrack for my dark fantasy film La Belle Dame Sans Merci-Hate.
I gave her a tough assignment, make a mysterious minuet that still
fit the dreamlike quality of the film. "Death's theme" as it were.
After some back and forth to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, we had the incredible soundtrack on the film that was exactly what I had envisioned only better!
I plan to use Tara's truly brilliant composing on many of my films!”
