A World Class Orchestra, At Your Service

“Thank you so much! My project ‘Crazy Pig’ surely benefited from your fine work.”

Spotlight - Crazy Pig

Ravel Virtual Studios and composer Dan Lazarescou recently collaborated on a new project, the score to the short film Crazy Pig, directed by Juan Francisco de la Guardia. “The inspiration for Crazy Pig came from alliteration and borrowing my psychologist mother’s mental disorder compendium,” says the director.

The score is a mix of orchestral instruments and electric guitar, which suits the unusual behavior of characters in the film.

Crazy Pig had its world premiere at the 2010 Dallas International Film Festival.
