“Having Ethan Lawrence as your composer means you will have someone on your project who can genuinely read your mind. Being a director with a musical background, I needed an artist I could trust to tell our story about music censorship through an incredibly versatile score — Ethan did exactly that and then some. He elevated ZIP, complemented our 70s visuals, and brought new ideas to the table. Through the roller coaster that is making a film in eight days, Ethan always trusted my vision and respected the challenges and choices my production team had to make. Everyone has been absolutely raving about Ethan’s work as a composer and it is much deserved. Thank you Ethan for being a voice for people in Iran (literally) and for being part of this project. I cannot recommend him enough — he is nothing short of a genius.”

Ava Safai (Director of "Zip")

"Working with Ethan is an absolute pleasure. He contributes so much to the collaborative process with his ideas and and open mind. He's my first call when I need a composer."

Ryan Jinn (Director of "Hooray for Hazel")
