And the score is a masterpiece-such an incredible joy to experience those recording sessions. #sleepyhollow #timburton

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Terence Stamp. I had the privilege of working with him on Big Eyes & Miss Peregrine’s. Watching his process and hearing him speak about his extraordinary career was an incredible treat. Portrait Photo by Leah Gallo. #ripterencestamp #TerenceStamp
