"Deadheading" Wins Sony Future Filmmakers Award 🥇

The Sony Future Filmmaker Awards have revealed the 2026 winners at a gala ceremony hosted by Emmy-award winner Denny Directo (Entertainment Tonight) in the iconic Sony Pictures Studios Scenic Arts Building in Culver City. Now in its fourth edition, this prestigious global awards program for short films uncovers the filmmakers reshaping cinema's future. Established by Creo and sponsored by Sony, the Awards aim to highlight outstanding original talents and launch them directly into the heart of the film industry.

I'm excited to share that Jack Hughes' dark comedy short Deadheading which features my original soundtrack has took home the prize for "Fiction"! You can read all about the film's selection and the other winners in Variety Magazine. The winners were selected from a global shortlist of 30 films representing over 20 countries, drawn originally from more than 8,400 filmmakers across 162 countries and territories. It's wonderful to see the hard work of the proudly Brummie cast and crew recognised with such a competitive award. Congratulations to all the winners and I can't wait to see what everyone makes next!
