I was invited to Hollywood for doing something that I did for years at Monash. In my first year at university, I learnt how to make computer generated music, which is now what gets me invitations to work on major movies. Being able to do this is common in music, but not in the film world. - Pru Montin, Australian-LA based Composer and Sound Designer
