                    I'm very impressed with the way Dennis works as a composer. With his clear insight into the drama of the scenes, his choice of instruments, and memorable recurring themes, he pushed my film to a higher level.

                   Dennis is a fine composer to collaborate with. With a strong technical, and at the same time intuitive way of working, he quickly struck the right chord.

                    We consider Dennis a talented film composer who understands what is expected of him during the hectic filmmaking process. With the production Sacred Defense, he has created a score that perfectly captures the feel of the film. Additionally, we consider Dennis to be one of the most skilled communicators we worked with during our period at the Netherlands Film Academy. He thinks ahead and clearly communicates what is and isn't feasible. Also, he ensures everybody is up to speed about the progress he is making. A great personality combined with technically as well as emotionally strong film music is what you get when you collaborate with Dennis.

                    In my role as directing coach of several final exam productions, I have come to know composer Dennis Hazenoot as a special talent. Not only is he extremely versatile, his musical idiom easily accompanies the biggest drama, the most subtle of events, and everything in between. He also has the gift to make genuine contact with a film. His music searches for the essence of the story and does not rest before this anchorage has been found.

                   It's great to see and hear how Dennis has developed as a composer in the work Intensifier – composed for the jongNBE. There's great knowledge about orchestration, beautiful notes, "own" colors and a sublime compositional signature. Excellent!

                    Dennis makes a musical feast out of every marching band show. Beautiful arrangements from classical to contemporary music. Because Dennis knows exactly what he wants musically, it makes the process of creating the choreagraphy much more enjoyable.

                    Dennis was a joy to work with. Very much involved, skilled in commmunication, and idiosyncratic. We made two beautiful films together!

                    Dennis understands the complex language of film as well as that of music and knows how to skillfully combine the two. His passion and enthusiasm have continually inspired me during the filmmaking process. He is not afraid of setting ambitious goals, but also knows when his music has to leave some space. Dennis has a friendly character and always has a professional attitude, which makes collaborating very comfortable.
