From their first collaboration on the silent film-styled short film 'Proteus' to Rhenals' 4th and latest feature film 'Ask Delphi', explore Morris' rich variety of musical accompaniment from this longevous creative partnership!

We'd like to acknowledge someone who was the first crew member Gabriel ever enlisted (and almost the only crew member he's ever enlisted) who, in 2003, briefly performed the role of boom operator on his 1st short film 'Mass Education' (linked to below).

However, footage employing this thrifty sound recording means did not make it into the final cut. Still, Gabriel will always be grateful for this young man's most generous assistance!
