ETHAN BELLOWS
DIRECTOR & PRODUCER - BLINDSPOT
Working with Kyle was a dream and we are eager to do so again. We knew that score was one of the most essential elements for our short film to come alive. One of our main inspirations for the script was actually a piece of classical music. Kyle able to combine our directions and desires into something unique and cinematic. He was even able to include the essence of the classical music piece in a wholly new theme. Our project wouldn't be the same without his contribution!
