DAVID RICHARDS (director) - "Hal's music, whether written for a film that's sad, funny or anything in between, communicates emotionally, in a clear and direct way. His music feels uncomplicated, but in actual fact it's quite complex, and like with most great art, it engages the emotions, makes you 'feel', and stays with you."
