"The environmental sound turned out so well,
and the fight scene
actually had my hair on end, which was wild
after having watched it without sound over and over again.
You are so talented and I have loved getting
to work on this with you!

Lindy Boustedt, First Sight 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!”

She mixed and mastered the audio from 35 individual videos of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders singing "Don't Give Up On Me" by Andy Grammer. She then produced a video of the performance.
