"Caretaker" Short Film Trailer Released

The first trailer for James Hood's drama short film Caretaker about a young woman struggling to care for her mother has just released! You can watch below for an introduction to the paranoid and claustrophobic world on the film and a sample of my original soundtrack.

It was another creatively rich collaborate process working with James on this project, I am so excited to share the evocative and deeply artful film. Please keep an eye out for future updates on festival screenings, soundtrack release and more.

"Even Saints Bleed" Short Film and Soundtrack Release

Ricardo Bouyett's latest short film Even Saints Bleed which features my original soundtrack has just released online, available to watch on the Bouy Films YouTube channel:

I am so excited and proud to share this beautiful, visceral film. Ricardo's direction and the actors' performances created such powerful material that was an absolute joy to score. The film is about a young writer, Alma, who cycles through different rewrites of her first novel as she fights through her writer's block, only to find herself in a violent loop at the expense of her friend Kia.

My soundtrack features abrasive strings and broiling synth textures that compliment the tense and brutal narrative. You can stream and purchase the score on Spoitfy, Apple Music and Bandcamp etc. I hope you enjoy the film and my music, this is one of the most substantial projects I have composed for so am immensely happy to finally be able to share it!
