Testimonials
“I had a wonderful experience collaborating with Bethany as she created the score for my animated short film, “Artist’s Alley”. Her music perfectly captured the energy of the characters and adds so much heart to the story!”
-Jenna DeFacendis, Animator
“As the director of a short film as part of the 48 Hour Film Project, our production was tight on time from the get go. So it was great that Bethany was so easy to work with and delivered amazing quality in such a short time frame. Her grasp of what I wanted to do with the musical score was very intuitive and she was able to take that information and turn it into exactly what I was looking for — then by applying her own perspective and professional opinion, she really elevated our work. So much so that the project placed third in the Best Music category at the 48 Hour top 15 films’ screening awards! I would definitely work with Bethany again, it was a pleasure.”
- Brett Caron (writer/director)
“Bethany’s film composing is nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to craft an emotive and captivating musical score for our project elevated every scene, making every second of our film richer for it. Bethany brought a unique talent and creativity to our project and I hope to work with her more in the future.”
- Darren Hinchy, Editor
“Working with Bethany Harrison on our short films has been nothings short of a filmmaker’s dream. Bethany is a hard worker, clear communicator, and has such a handle on her craft that she can turn around quality results in virtually no time.
More than that, Bethany cares about the story and applies her own creative lens to every piece. She has never failed to positively impact our films to the highest degree by bringing the very core of the story to the surface. Her work is indescribable in its ability to strike emotional and cinematic chords with the power of music.
Bethany is a pleasure to work with and we look forward to her input on every project we produce.
- Ellie O’Brian, Director
“Working with Bethany has been an absolute pleasure and an honour. Through her hard work and dedication she was able to produce music that not only complimented our films but enhanced them into award winning pieces of art. Her creative ear and mind have had their challenges with high demands from the creators of our films, yet she took in every comment, suggestion, and critique with such poise that she was able to produce music and scores that went far beyond our expectations.
Not only is she fun and easy to work with, but she also cares about the production, as much as she cares about her role in making it a success. Bethany has been and will continue to be my “go-to” composer for all of my productions. If you are considering her to composer for you, let this message be your sign to look no further, as you have one fo the most enthusiastic and devoated composers you will ever have the pleasure of working with. I know she will accomplish great things in her career, and I’m privileged to be able to say that I’ve worked with her.”
