Best Original Score Win for "Daniel's Room" 🎞️

My soundtrack for Jack Richardson's psychological horror short film Daniel's Room has just won Best Original Score at the London Independent Film Awards! Competing alongside other independent short films, the eerie and atmospheric music for the film's haunting tale managed to snag the prize.

I'm so pleased to have been recognised for the hard work poured into this film, the whole team put their all into getting the most out of the small budget that was available to us. We're so proud to be a Midlands cast and crew and hope this wonderful project brings renewed interest and opportunities to the region.

Please keep an eye out for more news and updates about the film, including screenings and release, over on Instagram.
