The Valkyrie experience was unforgettable, and in the words of one executive, "the book that could never be written." That, of course, is true of many Hollywood productions, but Valkyrie was, well, one of the more challenging, or, perhaps, challenged. The highs were intrinsically tied to lows - which were certainly a test of fortitude. For me, as if the pressures of editing and scoring a difficult film weren't enough, it all coincided with the pain of a dissolving long-term relationship, career stress (from losing scoring gigs), and if that weren't enough, I also lost the friendship of a long time colleague. I guess if a bunch of "stuff" is going to hit the fan, it might as well splatter all at once. You just have to keep telling yourself what mom always said,... "This too will pass." And it did, but it took awhile. Of course, I can only generally, and very editorially, summarize the beats of the saga.
