Great to be involved with this classic British dark comedy. Some first class performances from Jane How (Miss Potter), Sandra Dickinson (Super Girl) and Susan Kyd (Chick Lit). It was a real challenge editing a very intricate score by Aaryk Noctivagus however think we’ve got a great production with legs! Watch this space for news on distribution.

Missing out on top spot, but keeping great company!
Despite making the shortlist, my score failed to take home the spoils at the Short Sounds Film Festival in Bournemouth this evening. The disappointment soon faded as I got to spend some time with the Hollywood legend that is Rupert Gregson-Williams, who had some nice things to say about my music and some even better Hollywood anecdotes!
