About Chris Hajian

    - Brad Furman

    Director, "The Take", "Fast Forward"

  • “Without exception, at every screening, I have been asked who composed the music for my film. I gave Chris a challenge most composers wouldn’t touch because of its unforgiving deadlines–and he never failed…  He is a true artist; I can’t imagine working with any other composer–now or in the future.”

    - Bess Kargman

    Director/Producer, First Position

  • “Film scores are a voice, as much as any other in the drama, meant to probe the psychological subtext of the moment and have it sing to an audience. This artistry is the measure of a great film composer, and Chris Hajian is a master of it.”

    - David Ray

    Editor "Molly: An American Girl on the Homefront", "Welcome to Academia"

    - Trent Othick

  • “I really enjoyed working with Chris on Knights of Prosperity. He is a nice guy, a hard worker, and very talented. I’ve always found it rare to get all three!”

    - Rob Burnett

    - Bob Celestino

    Director, “Mr. Vincent” & “Yonkers Joe”
