I Love Movies (Chris Dudley @chrisunderoath S01 E007) American composer/multi-instrumentalist most known as the keyboardist in the multi-Grammy award-nominated band Underoath; he joined the band in the year 2000 and after almost two decades and over one million albums sold, Chris is now bringing his incredible talent and style to the film scoring and media world in a way and sound that's uniquely his.

His latest movie scored, Bad Candy from director Scott B. Hansen is sweeping with prizes and accolades through some of the most important international film festivals. The film God’s waiting room which he also scored just had its worldwide premiere at Tribeca Film Festival. It’s a real pleasure to be able to chat with him today, Mr. Chris Dudley
