"Jealous People are Ugly People" Premiering at SXSW 🧿

I'm excited to share that Theo Krekis' psychological horror short film Jealous People are Ugly People, featuring my original soundtrack, will have its international premiere at SXSW festival in March! Written for BBC Writers' Long Story Short scheme, the film follows Vasilly, a young man consumed by jealousy for his best friend's sudden career success. The resentment festers, feeding a dark, supernatural force within him.

I am so proud to have played a part in bringing this story to life and the Midnight Madness strand of SXSW is the perfect launch for this rollercoaster ride of a film. Expect deep, eerie synths for a heavy, claustrophobic atmosphere. Please keep an eye out for further updates including online and soundtrack releases!
