Working with David was a blast! He is both smart and talented. When we worked through the analysis of the script and into spotting for the film ABIDE with such ease, I knew I had found a composer I will be able to work with in the future, too. I received so many compliments at the 168 Film Festival with our award-winning film ABIDE on our score on his behalf. We will be running the film festival circuit this coming year and I expect David will continue to garner high praise. Hire him! You will be glad you did.

Testimonials
Molly Vernon (Producer, Vernon-McKee Productions)
David composed an exquisite original score for our film A SCHOOL CALLED HOPE. He was extremely helpful with the process and flexible with the vision… He is so good at connecting his technical acuity with creative intuition, which results in music that’s both skillful and full of feeling… Highly recommend his expertise and creativity when it comes to composing music.
Tiara Menjivar (Filmmaker, Creative, Podcaster)
David is an excellent composer, and it has been a joy to get to know him and work with him… From the very beginning, David showed a real desire to understand the story that we wanted to tell. I highly recommend David as a composer and look forward to the next time our paths cross and we can work together.
LeAnn Morris (Producer and Screenwriter, Six Mile Productions)
David Hyde provided the original music score for OPERATION DYNAMO (2017 docu-drama). He worked very hard to serve the production and delivered a very high-end sound. Audiences have also taken notice and commented that they liked the music in this film. It was wonderful working with David, as always, and I’m very thankful for his involvement in OPERATION DYNAMO.
Benjamin Owen (Director, Border Watch Films)
Working with David as our composer on the multi-award winning short film THE DARK PLACES was nothing short of a joy. David proved himself to be not only immensely creative but the ultimate team player. David is a real pro who understands the demands and processes of film scoring and brings great talent to the table. I particularly appreciated how David was able to work with the disparate personalities among the whole creative team to put ego aside and work in the best interests of the project. His patience and ability to explain and execute his creative vision, to work through spotting sessions and meld his vision with that of the producers and director was key to a very successful and satisfying filmmaking experience.
