"Thomas approached the challenge of creating an original score [for So Near, Yet So Far] enthusiastically. His work was refined and modern, and we were impressed with his musical interpretation of the film. Scoring a silent film requires deftness, both subtlety and brashness, all within overarching themes. Thomas' score was complex and melodic, and fit well with and enhanced the action on the screen. Thomas showed great talent and sensitivity in adapting to a medium outside his experience."
