James Marsh – Director "Claire was very actively involved in the music choices for my film The Theory Of Everything. She has a wide ranging knowledge of all musical genres which was invaluable as we put together the needle drops for the film, which ranged from classical music to Motown. We also had live performances in the film and needed on-camera performers and through her many contacts in the music industry, we had great options. Claire was also helpful in liaising with the film’s composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. The score won a Golden Globe and was also nominated for an Oscar. I can recommend her highly." |
Veronica Castillo – Head of Production, Mammoth Screen “Claire has worked with Mammoth Screen as Music Supervisor on such titles as The Pale Horse, The Singapore Grip and The ABC Murders. Claire has great taste, she’s an excellent collaborator who manages both the creative and business/clearance aspects of a production with great ease and professionalism. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her as a valued member of your next production team and we look forward to working with Claire once again on our forthcoming slate of high end drama at Mammoth.” |
Barney Reisz – Producer “I thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Claire on Temple. She is hugely resourceful, very knowledgeable in many diverse areas of music and, of course, shit-hot on deals with publishers and labels from her vast experience in the field.” |
Jason Newmark – Producer “Claire's contribution to a film is defined by great taste, immense experience and a fastidious work ethic that has never let us down over the half dozen or so productions we've done with her. She is always our first choice. “ |
Ado Yoshizaki Cassuto - Producer “I think Claire is a superstar music supervisor and it is always a pleasure to work with her. She is a great professional, with a fantastic blend of creative and practical knowledge and comfortable working in a wide variety of genres and budgets - it is always a comfort to have her on board. She is so adept at finding tracks where others simply don’t look and many is the time I have marvelled at her cleverness and good taste.” |
Marc Samuelson – Producer “Claire has been the music supervisor on a succession of my films and is my go-to person for music. She has a vast knowledge of music, a real instinct for what is needed creatively, is incredibly co-operative with all the (sometimes very demanding) film makers involved, and can be firm when needed to. She has pulled off many extraordinary deals for my films, and made a genuine contribution to each. I look forward to the next!” |
Leonora Lonsdale – Director “Claire couldn’t have made our lives easier. She sourced some brilliant tracks that were original and bold and always had more ideas up her sleeve. Opening up her track suggestions was always exciting as you never knew what old classic or undiscovered gem you might find. She was a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.” |
Mark Lo – Producer/Director “Very simply, Claire Freeman is my favourite music supervisor. She makes great creative choices and always battles to bring everything in within our budget. More than that though, I trust her to keep us on track, keep me informed when needed and bring us water tight deliverables. I hope we’ll always work together.“ |
