“Working with Jeff was an absolute joy, and his score elevated the film immeasurably. From our very first spotting session, he innately understood what the movie needed. During the whole process, he was extremely open to my vision for the film and did an excellent job of making communication as easy as possible. His passion and drive to tell the story with me was inspiring. And when I heard the score, I grinned like an idiot throughout, as it had exceeded my expectations.

If you’re looking for a composer, I cannot recommend Jeff enough. Skilled, passionate, and an excellent collaborator, you’ll enjoy the music and the process.”

UPDATE: “Now that we have released “The Apprentice” and Jeff has delivered his score, I want to say a bit more. Every filmmaker knows that the beginning of the editing process can be tedious, often leaving you unsure if the film will turn out well. However, once I started receiving samples of Jeff’s score, I was blown away by the amount of love and effort he put into it. His work has elevated our film in an epic, emotional way. I highly recommend this talented man.”

PREVIOUS: “During a crew call for my recent Star Wars fan film [The Apprentice], I crossed paths with Jeffrey Carabelos. While the film is currently in post-production, I found myself engaged in other projects simultaneously. Maneuvering a tight turnaround for a promotional piece I directed for the 72 Hour Kick Ass Film Fest, I urgently required a composer at the last minute. Without hesitation, Jeffrey embraced the challenge and produced one top-notch score. His exceptional ability to deliver high-quality compositions, combined with superlative communication skills and a keen responsiveness to feedback, made our collaboration truly outstanding. I eagerly anticipate our continued work on the Star Wars Fan Film, confident in Jeffrey’s capacity to consistently produce top-notch scores.”

“Jeffrey elevates every project on an incomparable scale. He is guaranteed to raise production value on anything you bring to his desk. Jeffrey has given my company and I truly professional and Hollywood-level scores with airtight turnaround times requested. Additionally, he accepts feedback with open arms and engages in conversation to comprehend every detail of what is desired for the score. He is truly a master of his craft.”

“Collaborating with Jeff on the score for my debut feature film was an exceptional experience. Jeff’s meticulous approach during the spotting session, where he thoroughly read the entire script and grasped the genre’s nuances, set the foundation for our musical direction. We opted for a unique blend of non-traditional regional music, incorporating both eastern and western instruments and motifs to enhance the film’s mood. Jeff’s patience and respect for the creative process were evident as we navigated through multiple revisions of the cues. Upon receiving the main theme, I immediately sensed that Jeff was on the right path, destined to craft truly remarkable original music. His compositions undeniably elevated the film to new heights, creating a powerful and immersive auditory experience. As a matter of fact, Jeff’s score for my feature is genius.”

“Working with Jeffrey was the easiest going I’ve ever had with a composer. Our introduction was a swift conversation regarding what he could bring to the table while also asking me what I wanted. I remember making a comment on how much I loved the ambient work of Radiohead and before I knew it, I had a score before me that not only matched my film exactly but also seemed to include nods to the band I had mentioned once in conversation. Jeffrey’s quality and speed of working makes him an easy recommendation for a composer.”

“Hiring Jeff Carabelos on my project was the best choice I could have made for my film. Jeff took time to understand my vision, and applied all feedback effectively. Without his hard work, talent, and dedication to his craft, my project would have been a fraction as good as it was. I will definitely be utilizing his expertise going forward.”

“I’ve been working with Jeff for years and it’s incredibly rare to find people with not only a natural talent for his craft, but also a brilliant and well-read mind. Creative discussions are always deep and abundant and the ideas and results of those conversations and intuitions always result in music that moves me to my core. It’s safe to say that I’ve found my composer for my filmmaking career. Jeff is someone who is always learning and getting better and pushing himself to try things he’s never done before all the while his heart being in every project that he does. He doesn’t know how to do half-assed work and his attention to detail and perfection guarantees that the emotional core of the project stays whole and complete. This is”

“Jeff is a super easy and fun guy to work with. It was a joy getting to know him as a person and as a creative when we worked on the score for my short film together. Not only is he super flexible but he’s incredibly ingenuitive and always has super great and unique ideas. Would 100% recommend.”
