ABOUT "The best thing about the film - hands down - is the fantastic score composed by Douglas Edward." Kiko Martinez from the SA Current Douglas Edward is a festival award-winning Composer and classically trained Violinist and Pianist. He received an award for Artistic Excellence in "Best Impact of Music in a Feature Film" from the Park City Film Music Festival, an award for "Best Movie Soundtrack" from the Bare Bones International Film Festival, and an award for "Best Film Score" from the Moondance International Film Festival. In addition to playing the Violin and Piano, Douglas also performs on the Viola, Cello, Guitar, and various Percussion instruments. He has a degree in Music Composition with extensive credits in Theory, Accompanying, Choir, Orchestration, and New Music.  The FW Weekly describes his music as "providing powerful, frequently mournful, occasionally artfully angular lines that dominate entire sonic tableaux or enriching passages, adding depth and texture". The Independent Critic describes one of his recent scores as "the perfect cinematic companion that gives the film a spark". The Star-Telegram describes his music as "a modern symphony filled with mood swings; great crescendo peaks followed by valleys of whispery silences. So polished are the string parts that they alone could be spliced into any movie soundtrack and immediately enhance the desired mood". Douglas has scored many productions, including the upcoming show "Ghostbreakers" (hosted by Joey Greco from Cheaters), the SyFy Channel feature "Meteor Apocalypse" (starring Joe Lando from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman), Kerry Valderrama's "Garrison" (distributed by Peace Arch Entertainment), Pablo Veliz's "The Boys of Ghost Town" (co-starring Danny Trejo from Desperado), Robert Paschall Jr's "The Locker" (produced by Gary Brown from Prison Break), Benjamin Wilbank's "Night Crawlers" (co-starring Mathew Greer from No Country for Old Men), David Matheny's "My Step-Dad's a Freakin' Vampire!"
