"Since 1997, I have done post-production of my last seven films at Outpost in San Francisco, including LITTLE DIETER NEEDS TO FLY, MY BEST FRIEND, WINGS OF HOPE, INVINCIBLE, THE LORD AND THE LADEN, and most recently WHEEL OF TIME (not released yet). Through this work, I have been in a close working relationship with David Nelson who designed and mixed the sound of all these films (with the exception of "Invincible" which had - for reasons of an English co-production - to be mixed in London).

Mr. Nelson's technical professionalism is beyond doubt, and I have found this high standard elsewhere in the world, but what attracted me to Outpost was the all-pervading climate of creativity which inspired me from the moment I walked in. Mr Nelson was the epicenter of this creativity. He was much more than a technical collaborator. I owe him, for the example, the most improbable of all musical solutions for the end of LITTLE DIETER where he proposed to use an utterly obscure traditional recording from Madagascar of the 1930s which now illuminates the end of my film. 

If Mr. Nelson is under consideration for work which reaches far beyond mere technical professionalism, I highly recommend him."
