I write music to please myself. Hopefully the director's enjoying it too.
Connection is what one is after in probably most media, but certainly in film, which is an immersive medium.

Los Angeles is an industry town, and it has great facilities and personnel. The disadvantage is that everyone there seems to talk about the same subject matter.
Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.
