Testimonials

"Steve Cupani is an extraordinary, gifted composer who excels at scoring a scene in a subtle way such that it heightens the emotional element without drawing attention to itself. The end result is a compelling and rewarding visceral journey in which the audience experiences the whole film without noticing the parts.  In addition, his professional attitude and driven desire for the most effective score shines above the pack. Mr. Cupani is a dream to work with."

- Henry Li, Writer/Director/Producer

"Steve Cupani did the music for my short film Adam Avenger and he was a complete joy to work with. He has an amazing enthusiasm and positive energy, as well as being an incredibly gifted composer who brings lots of innovative ideas and also be receptive to suggestions. The score he created for Adam Avenger combined different styles of film music, from quiet understated drama to grand superhero themes, that not only complimented the story unfolding on screen, but helped make our short feel much bigger and more emotional, without ever sounding sappy or melodramatic. I can’t recommend Steve’s great talents too highly and I’m really excited about collaborating with him again on more film projects in the future."

 - Chris Trebilcock, Writer/Director/Producer

"I have worked with Steve Cupani on multiple films and so I can definitively say that he is both a joy to work with, and an amazing creator. It’s so rare to find both in one person. Steve thrives on collaboration and not only incorporates your thoughts into the score, but makes it even better than you originally imagined it."

- Glen Wood, Writer/Director/Producer

"I had the opportunity of working with Steve Cupani in English Butler Masala Chai. Steve has the uncanny ear of a master composer and a very comforting and easy-going personality. Steve's compositions are beautifully crafted with thoughtful attention to story-telling. I look forward to working with him on all my future endeavours."

"Our reason for seeking to work with Mr. Cupani was due to his accolades and achievements within the film and television industry. His professionalism was unparalleled, and he delivered strong work in a timely fashion.  Specifically, he is meticulous with his attention to detail, but this does not compromise the speed at which he is able to work. The perfect combination in such a fast paced, high demand industry. His ability to perceive the visual emotion from the movie and transform it into sound added tremendous strength to our project.  As a result it was an official selection at film festivals across the country including but not limited to “KidsFirst!”, Santa Fe, NM, “The San Diego International Children’s Film Festival”, San Diego, CA, and won the “Best International Children’s Film” award at the 2010 “Detroit Windsor International Film Festival (DWIFF)” in Detroit, MI and an “Accolade Award of Merit.”
