Holly also recently scored the supernatural horror film THE TOYBOX starring Denise Richards and Mischa Barton. Besides being able to write some truly thrilling and suspenseful music, Holly also likes to score action, adventure, animation, documentaries, sci-fi, dramas and comedies and has signed on to score the inspiring biopic drama BUTTERFLY IN THE TYPEWRITER, directed by David DuBos and featuring an all star cast.
