Notably, she received a Primetime Emmy nomination for her Main Title theme for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix. Holly’s impressive body of work includes scoring films like the historical drama Miranda’s Victim, the horror film Eli Roth’s Be Mine: A VR Valentine’s Slasher, the psychological thriller Open 24 Hours, the creature feature Dark Light, the family holiday feature Finding Christmas, and the documentary about Donn Beach, The Donn of Tiki, for which she earned an HMMA nomination for Best Original Score for a Documentary Film.

An accomplished alumni of USC’s Screen Scoring program and member of the Alliance for Women Film Composers, Holly’s dedication, creativity, and collaborative spirit make her a sought-after composer.
