"Adrian Ellis' moody sound design is a near-perfect aural background for the gloomy action."

Graeme Stewart, BlogTO

"Adrian rocks! Brought in at the 11th hour he managed to write a full score for our short film within a matter of days. He was sensitive to the film's rhythms and enhanced the moods in all the right places. He has great intuition and needs little guidance. I thoroughly enjoyed the collaborative process with him. We will definitely work together again..."

Mark Bochsler, Director, 'Tea with Mother'

"Dust of the Earth was an extremely difficult film to not only make, but to find the right music for. After going through a series of different composers and not finding the right sound for the film, Adrian came on board. Not only did he understand precisely what I was looking for (despite my vague descriptions) but he delivered with the utmost creativity. Since the film's completion, we've been the official selection of seven film festivals world-wide and won Best Documentary at the First Glance film festival. I cannot tell you how many people have commented on how perfect the music was. The film would just have not been the same without Adrian's talent and commitment."

Rebecca Rose, Director, 'Dust of the Earth'
