Bio
Benjamin Bryant
Francis is an exceptional composer and collaborator; and partnering with him was one of the best decisions our company has ever made. He recently completed the ambitious and exceptional (don't take my word for it, it's already received several honors) score for the feature film STATION TO STATION, a film for which music plays an integral (and fully integrated part). As part of that process, I had the pleasure of co-writing three songs with Francis (which were then woven throughout the score in very clever and purposeful ways). We're already prepping new projects -- and, to be honest, being willing and eager to work with a partner again is my highest possible endorsement -- but I'm more than happy to recommend Francis to any other filmmaker, for any project.
