The film's director, Dana Brown, (Step Into Liquid) was also happy with the score, saying in an interview, "…the music is unbelievable. He sees what the scene is about, and nails it. Nathan really took what Dust to Glory was about and exposed that musically." Simultaneously, Nathan was putting the finishing touches on his third fantasy action/adventure score for Miramax Films entitled Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows, which was produced by Sue Shakespeare and the award-winning team at Creative Capers Entertainment. Sue has been quoted saying, "Nathan Furst is filled with talent and dedication. His work is right up there with any of the A-list composers I've worked with. It's only a matter of time." David Molina, one of the directors of the Bionicle trilogy has said of Nathan, "Watching the picture with his music for the first time is an amazing experience. The story is suddenly alive and emotional." Nathan currently works in his state-of-the-art, digital production studio located in Calabasas, California. Read more on Last.fm.
