TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Donal has been outstanding. His score for The Merger danced between comedy, action and dramatic stare downs with the dexterity of a pro!  This brought us back to collaborate with Dónal on our documentary The Invisible Homeless where the score helped give gravitas and pacing to the entire piece."

"In this animated short, where the characters do not speak, this score speaks for them. Brilliant writing that addresses every moment of drama and cartoon craziness.  An absolutely stunning effort!"
