Colleen Sharpe, Writer/Producer/Director – Wake of a War Bride

“Christiaan’s musical score for Wake of a War Bride was sensitive and creative. He worked hard to synthesise my vision as a director with the emotional content of the piece. A consumate professional able to work even when a production schedule gets behind.

Christiaan worked with another project I was involved with for a museum exhibition video on Ancient Peru. Here again he managed to capture the indigienous and mysterious style of music needed without being contrived. His musical talent is exceptional.”

Marc MacPherson, Writer/Producer/Director – Ancient Peru Unearthed

“To be to the point, Christiaan’s musical capabilities are extremely diverse… His understanding of the production process and openess throughout the creative process made my experience working with Christiaan enjoyable on both a creative and profesional level.”

Trevor Alberts, Writer/Producer/Director – Peculiar Planet

“I highly recommend Christiaan’s services to other filmmakers.
The melodies and the instruments Christiaan chose worked beautifully. The music really helps to “sell” what happens in the film. I credit the music for providing cohesiveness to ‘Peculiar Planet…’

He was completely professional and very open to communication throughout the whole process. He asked plenty of questions to make sure we agreed on the music’s direction . . .”

Tinu Sinha, Writer/Producer – Citadel/Pavane for a Dead Skunk

“Christiaan has developed a signature to his work, a rare commodity in this business. His composition adds uniqueness, and life to film, and television work.

He is open to criticism and changes, meeting regularly to determine exact needsÉ Because of Christiaan’s Professionalism and unique sound, I have chosen to work with him a third time.”

Tom Carey, Actor/Film-maker – Unforgivable

“I had the pleasure of working with Christiaan Venter on my film ‘Unforgivable.’ I knew when I first met him that he would help bring our project to another level. He succeeded is this, and went way beyond. Christiaan is simply extremely talented and creative . . .

Christiaan’s music made ‘Unforgivable’ a much stronger and more enjoyable film … I look forward to working with Christiaan again …”

Tim Mooney Writer/Director/Editor – Infinite Depth

“Christian is very attentive. ‘Infinite Depth’ is a very symbolic film and Christiaan spent a lot of time discussing the film with me until he was certain he had a good grasp of what I was trying to convey. This careful attention to detail enabled him to develop a score that helped clarify the mood and symbolic tone of the film. I was very happy with how well he was able to convey dramatic changes in tone…

He worked hard to accommodate any changes I wanted and was patient when I made last minute changes in the film. I enjoyed working with Christiaan and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again on future projects.”
