Testimonials

"Dave Hendra’s score for Outside the City (Brotherhood: The Inner Life of Monks) was central to the film’s voice and emotional impact.

Nick Hamer

"Dave has been a fantastic longtime collaborator as songwriter, vocalist, composer, and producer.

He is flexible, inventive, and hardworking, with a knack for hooks, melodic development, and narrative."

Dave brings rare musical sensitivity, deep empathy and true collaborative spirit. His music allowed the film to breathe with quiet power. Working with him was a genuine pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any filmmaker.”
