Watch "Jealous People are Ugly People" on BBC iPlayer Now 📺

Theo Krekis' psychological horror short film Jealous People are Ugly People, which features my original soundtrack, has just been released onto BBC iPlayer and my soundtrack for the film is out now! Don't miss this nightmarish tale of Vasilly, who has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. However, every time Luke tells Vasilly about something great in his life, he has a horrible accident, and Vasilly is beginning to think he might be responsible...

Creating the score for this film was a delight, Theo and I worked through a range of ideas and approaches and landed on using heavy, atmospheric synth textures to bring a creeping sense of dread to the story. Have a listen to my soundtrack, released on Black Screen Records and available to stream and purchase on all major platforms.
