"It is with genuine enthusiasm and deep respect that I recommend Carlo Chiarotti for your next project. Carlo is not only one of the most exceptional composers I have had the pleasure to work with, but also one of the most authentic and dedicated individuals I have encountered. From the first meeting, I had great confidence in his artistry, professionalism, and ability to provide the project with the score we needed. He immediately understood my vision and instantly proposed approaches to sequences and specific instruments for my consideration. He then backed that up with samples and temp scores for my animatics, amazing! His role as founder and conductor of the florencepops orchestra, along with their amazing connection to animation, made for a seamless collaboration. Carlo possesses a natural visual sensitivity and an intuitive sense of storytelling that elevate every project he touches with his exceptional compositions. His score for Hello Maggie and the orchestra’s exceptional execution of it raised the entertainment and production value of the film to a level that my producers and I were very grateful for. Thank you, Carlo! Grazie florencepops orchestra!!"
