"...Lila is not only a talented film composer and musician but a phenomenal communicator and collaborator. She took my notes and visions into consideration for every scene and designed beautiful and unique scores for each of them while also locking in an overall style for the film. With her quick replies and turnaround times, I was always excited to see what she came up with for the next scene. Lila was one of the least of my worries during post-production and truly helped amplify my story. I'm very appreaciative of her generously using her time to help me on Malibu Soda."
