"Scott is blessed with a very special ear for creating music for motion pictures. His ability to screen a film, absorb its meaning, and then produce a score that is brilliant for that particular piece has been a remarkable pleasure for me as well as many others with whom he has worked. Scott is a true musical wonder, a fabulous guy and an honest gift to filmmakers."
 
Jeff Wedding - director; "Blind", "Perry's Wait", "Judy", Gracie"

 

"Scott Hallgren is a true professional in every sense of the word. His talent is equaled only by his dedication to a quality product, every time. Through many late nights and demanding deadlines, he is always patient, always creative, always a pleasure to work with!"

Melannie O'Connor, producer/writer, Scholastic Book Fair Video

 

"Scott was incredibly helpful and creative for a short piece we needed turned around very quickly. He was an absolute pleasure to work with... and went the extra mile to deliver something powerful on a moment's notice."

Kathy Conkwright, Emmy Award-winning director/producer

 

"The scoring and dialogue (in Gracie) are, on their own, more than enough to compensate for the "stripped-down" sound. Of final note is the phenomenal soundtrack by Scott Hallgren. The piano-and-string infused music is by turns ethereal, mournful, and intense, while the haunting vocals performed by Seay include whispers of prayers and softly-sung Latin chants, continuing the film's strong religious themes."

Kari Ann Morgan, MicroFilmMaker Magazine

 

"Crazy projects… last minute deadlines… and did he run away screaming?! No, he completed them on time and on budget, and as always the work was amazing. Scott Hallgren has always been there when we needed him and I will continue to torment him for years to come."

Colleen M. Seigo, Creative Director, ELH Group Advertising

 

"Anytime our projects call for music, Scott Hallgren is our first call. Great talent and easy to work with...what more can you want?"

Kevin McGhee, Director of Marketing, Magnetic Dreams Animation Studio

 

"Scott has composed music for Vanderbilt Cancer Center programs and scores for several of my students' films. Both the filmmakers and myself have been mightily impressed with not only the speed at which he turned the work around, but the quality of the finished product. I teach my students that music will make your film twice as good, and Scott's scores elegantly prove my point".

William M. Akers, filmmaker and Vanderbilt professor of film

 

"... the surreal world the patient lives in (Gracie) is powerfully brought to life by its beautiful cinematography and amazing, haunting musical score."
