The Homeless Curse

2026 London Global Film Awards Official Selection!
In November 2025, alongside Alys Savery, I composed the music for a short drama film, called 'The Homeless Curse', directed by Archie Macdonald. It depicts Pete, a young man who grapples with the frightening reveal of homelessness after expressing his ungratefulness towards his girlfriend about their small two bed flat. It was officially released on YouTube December 23rd 2025.

A Mime's Will

In May 2025, I composed the music for a short drama film, directed by Jack Spreadbury, which portrays a day in a life of a performing mime as she prepares for an audition at a circus. It was officially released February 16th 2026 on Jack's YouTube channel, shown below.

Nostalgia Trilogy

In February 2025, I composed the music for a trilogy of short experimental films, called 'Nostalgia Trilogy', directed by Emily Davis. It journeys through seasonal, generational, and event-based nostalgia, blending nature, childhood, and celebration into a vivid exploration of memory. It is currently in the process of being sent to film festivals, so for now, here is the trailer.

The Package

2025 Berlin Short Film Awards for Best Low Budget Film!
In January 2025, I composed the music for a short dark comedy film, called 'The Package', directed by Sam McLeod, about a scrawny businessman, with a debt to a violent loan shark, who must deliver a package by midnight to escape death.​​​

How Far Can A Punk Get?

How Far Can A Punk Get? is a short comedy film, directed by Riley Carr, about a Punk band's struggles as well as the main character's struggle with addiction. I composed the music for this film in September 2024 alongside Alys Savery, and had lots of fun composing for the Punk genre, something I've never tried before!​​ Unfortunately, it cannot be shown publicly yet so here is a snippet from the very start of it.

The ShapeShifter

In  June 2023, I composed the music for a short animated film called The ShapeShifter, directed by Brodie Hollifield, about a mage who is testing to see if it is possible to create life using magic. Unfortunately, it can't be shown publicly yet but here are some snippets of the wonderfully animated story with some of my music behind it!

The Princess and The Dragon

2024 RTS Yorkshire Student Award for Best Animation!
In May 2023, I composed the music for a short animated film called The Princess and The Dragon, directed by Annie Nicholson, which depicts a princess trapped in her castle and guarded by a fierce dragon, whilst she dreams about the outside world and the adventures that she imagines she will go on.​​
