Testimonials
I had a great experience working with Jonathan McCoy. He was one of my favorite collaborators, not only highly creative and technically talented, but someone who consistently brought thoughtful ideas that strengthened the storytelling itself.
Beyond his artistic contributions, he was also extremely reliable in a leadership role. As lead compositor, he took real ownership of the work, helped guide the process, and made sure delivery deadlines were met. That combination of creative insight and accountability is rare, and I would gladly work with him again.
