THE LOST BOYS OF CARBIS BAY
DOCUMENTARY SHORT - 2025
COMPOSER
Cornish lads are fishermen,
and Cornish lads are miners too,
but when the fish and tin are gone?
what are the Cornish boys to do?
The Carbis Bay Crew are a motley gang of mine explorers. This film documents the struggles and brotherhood of the group. The score blends folk traditions and electronica, accompanying the crew into a forgotten land beneath the Wild West of Cornwall.
KING PUTT
DOCUMENTARY SHORT - 2024
COMPOSER
Marc Chapman is the mini golf world champion. He seeks to claim his third consecutive championship on the most brutal course in mini golf against a set of bloodthirsty rivals. Nerves of steel, a ruthless mentality ,and the graceful, deadly swing of a genius-madman are required to be crowned once more as King Putt.
The score uses synthwave and rock combined with a nod to elite-sports-doc style soundtracks to elevate the drama (and comedy) necessary to accompany one of the greatest sporting achievements of the 21st century.
