The Lake in the Sky Poster UPDATED MAY 19.png

"I’m so glad I had the opportunity to work with Dean on my 2024 short film, The Lake in the Sky! His score brought something new to every scene, and really elevated the level of the film. He’s incredibly collaborative and created an unique sounding, experimental score that hits all the right notes. Diverse, nuanced, and versatile - it was a real treat watching the score come together."

Caleb Reese Paul - Director / Producer

"One enjoyable aspect of the movie does come from its score from Dean McGinnes. For a low budgeted affair, the music does set the tone and atmosphere and there are even hints of a horror movie vibe to it. When the action does hit, there are enough guitar riffs and synth like beats to accompany what is on the screen and it heightens the chaos that is going on and will remind you of something out of the VHS era of adrenaline laced entertainment"

John M Jerva, Action-Flix

"Dean has created a score which brings life to the post apocalyptic short in a very clever way. He has done an outstanding job and we're very proud of what has been achieved"

Amy & Elliot, Director - Upwall Pictures

"The plus points are the briefly-seen creature makeup and a mainly ambient soundtrack score composed by Dean McGinnes"
