Some guy I’ve never heard of - Elia Cmiral. > **[Elia Cmiral | Composer, Music Department, Director](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006012/)** > > Known for: Ronin, Splinter, Altered Mind of 20-20 He’s apparently composed a lot of music for movies I’ve never seen. No, wait, I take that back; I watched _Pulse_, under protest, at my best friend’s house the other night. I didn’t notice the music, though, I was too busy concentrating on how badly I wanted to smack every single character in that movie. ---

I get star alt-rock band [Garbage](http://imdb.com/name/nm0004945/) for my actor? That seems weird, but at least it’s someone I’ve a.) heard of, and b.) like. For my movie, I get [The Battle of Ballots](http://imdb.com/title/tt0004945/)? Can’t say I’m familiar with it. Off-topic, but I have to say I’m kind of pleased my member number is so low. Makes me fell a little special to have been an early adopter. Now if only I could’ve reactivated my membership from the original incarnation, Athair313. I don’t even think I actually posted with the name, but I’d be one of the oldest members still active, IIRC. ---

For the person - [Vilma Barba](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0053163/), producer of Panamian documentary India Dormida. For the film - [Pervyy Paren](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053163/) aka The First Lad, a Russian black and white drama. Awesome. ---

Hmmn… My actor is [Curtis Smith](http://imdb.com/name/nm0004407/). He appears to be a ‘First Assistant Director’ of a whole lot of completely unknown films. Movie: [Noche trágica](http://imdb.com/title/tt0004407/), a 1914 silent Spanish movie. Pretty lame, all around. ---
