"I listened to samples from more than fifty talented composers, but when I heard Darius' tracks, they set my heart racing. His work stood out in sharp relief from the rest of the pack. He very quickly put together a score for me that is both startlingly original, yet manages to serve all the necessary functions of a conventional film score. His instincts are spot-on, and in the very few instances where I had to give him notes, he completely got what I was after and nailed it in the very next pass. This guy is a hidden treasure."
                       -Michael Gilvary, Director, "Walking Wounded"

"Three things that are singularly impressive about Darius Holbert are his professionalism, talent and patience. Never before have I worked with a composer that could turn around such high quality work in such a short period of time. Darius was always ahead of the curve with deadlines and delivered regardless of changes to the schedule...I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again."
                        -Glen Berry, Director, "Kung Fu Joe"

"The samples on his website absolutely blew me away. I was so fond of one track in particular that we actually worked it into my film's final score. He was incredibly collaborative from our very first meeting, and was always open to discussion about making changes and getting the score right. And he didn't just listen to what I wanted - he took the score above and beyond what I expected. As a no-budget, independent filmmaker, finding a talent like Darius was a steal and, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to work with him in the future."
                        -Dan Riesser, Director, "Downsized"

"When Darius does not compose for a given movie, America cries."
                        -Courtney Lamb, Director, "Oh Baby"
