Good for him. Smart man. Not only keeping these film contacts going, but also continuing to collaborate with them on their Television projects as well.
Much better pay than the movies, if these series get picked up and I sincerely hope they do.
I adore the sleepy hollow tv score, is there anywhere I could buy it?
