“Perfectly Match What I Had In Mind!”

Dillon DeRosa is always a joy to work with. I’ve worked with him on two of my projects and look forward to collaborating in the future. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, he is patient, collaborative, and always attuned to the emotion of each scene. From working together on a dramatic period piece to a modern day comedy, his musical range is impressive and he always brings a unique sound to each genre. Dillon was able to perfectly match what I had in mind for each score and take it even further than I could have imagined. I’m always excited to see what he does next!

“Elevates Each Scene!”

I have worked with Dillon on many films over the last ten years in a variety of genres. A beautiful and balanced score is the glue that holds a film together while having the potential to elevate it greatly, and that’s what Dillon’s music has done for my films time and time again. He is extremely knowledgeable, full of ideas, and has a deep understanding of the emotional needs of a film in each scene. His score elevates each scene without overpowering the moments. Seeing the film with Dillon’s music for the first time is always my favorite part of the post-production process. On top of producing incredible work, Dillon is extremely easy to work with, communicative, timely and fun. I’m excited to reach post production on my next film so we can work together again soon.

“Nails It Every Time!”

Dillon has scored every major film and web series I’ve directed starting with the first, The Vampire Leland, which earned accolades at numerous film festivals. He’s an enthusiastic collaborator and an incredibly creative composer. He’s scored classical, latin jazz, hip-hop/r&b, acid jazz… he’s always excited to dive head first into making my aural visions, reality. My editor nicknamed Dillon “The Carpenter,” because he nails it every time!

“Rare Talent!”

Bringing Dillon on as our composer was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He has an increasingly rare talent for crafting memorable melodies that inspire a genuine emotional connection, capture the soul of the story, and stick in the viewer’s mind long after the credits have rolled. His impressive musical knowledge was matched only by his enthusiasm, creativity, and willingness to experiment in service of fulfilling my vision for the movie, and our collaboration was one of the most rewarding aspects of the entire film making process. I eagerly await the opportunity to work with him again.

“Wealth of Knowledge!”

Dillon makes it look easy. He’s consummately professional and extremely talented. He has a wealth of knowledge about music, and in our collaborations has shown incredible range. I’ve asked him for classical symphonies, jazzy showstoppers, even ’50s monster movie pastiches, and he’s delivered every time. I guarantee your audience will be whistling his melodies on their way out of the theater.
