  7. Blade Dragon sounds like an incredible piece of history and I love history! I really admire all three featured actors.
    The Taking of Tiger Mountain - I could sense the making of a opera from that. The music is going to be epic as well.
    Nice show, Dez!!!

  8. The music in the trailer is so beautiful. We had to pick music and make a single person play around it in my theater class in high school. If this had been around then, I would have definitely picked that for my piece!
