My latest film soundtrack (The Spell, Carey Films) went to MIPTV at the end of March  with a view to getting potential sales agents and distributors.  Carey Films received financial support for the outing from both Screen Yorkshire and UK Trade & Investment and were part of the UK Indies Pavillion.

Carey Films were also there trying to sell A Mind of Her Own (which also has the benefit of my soundtrack!) to television broadcasters.

The Spell will be going to the Cannes Film Festival & Market in a couple of weeks time and this will be the film’s first serious attempt at selling the movie to sales agents and distributors. The film will be screened twice in the Marche du Film.

Also, terms have been agreed for the theatrical release of the film through Vue Cinemas later this year.

The film will be now be eligible for the BAFTAs next year and Carey Films are intending to have a BAFTA campaign which will include sending DVDs of the film to all BAFTA members.

And finally… for those of you in Yorkshire, the film’s producer and director (Owen Carey Jones) will be interviewed live on BBC Look North at 6:30 pm on Friday 8th May and they will be showing one or two clips from the film during the interview.

Sounds encouraging!

Finally got there!

My latest film soundtrack is completed.  The finishing notes were added yesterday and the film is now set to be submitted to festivals across the globe.

As soon as possible, I’ll get some audio and video clips uploaded to the site.

But first… a glass of merlot!

Work is now 99.99% completed on my soundtrack to the new feature film from Carey Films Ltd, ‘The Spell.’

Fifty two cues of music and three songs later, I’m starting to relax a little

At the beginning of the week I attended a screening of the film at The Northern Film School in Leeds (UK).  This screening was for cast and crew and was followed by a tipple in the Revolution Bar next door.  A nice evening was had by all.

My grateful thanks to Fliss Barker for singing so wonderfully on my three songs written for the film.  You’re a star!

Now… back to that last cue of music and we’re all done

I’ve almost finished the scoring to ‘The Spell’ (Carey Films Ltd) and it’s looking like an exciting project to have been a part of (and damned hard work!).

There will be a screening of ‘The Spell’ to cast, crew and others involved in making the production happen at the end of February at the Northern Film School in Leeds.

I’m still finishing off a few music cues and have one more song to write! Hopefully, it will be all done by mid February at which point it will be submitted to the Edinburgh Film Festival, the first of more than 50 film festivals to which the film will be submitted during 2009.

The fim has also been chosen by Screen Yorkshire to receive support for participation at Miptv in Cannes at the end of March. It has also secured support from UK Trade & Investment for this purpose and will promoted to television buyers from around the world. The film will be part of the UK Indies stand run by PACT and will therefore have a good level of visibility in the market.

Also, ‘The Spell’ is booked for the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Keep checking back for updates on the progress of the film

I’ve just been commissioned to compose the soundtrack to a great new feature film entitled, ‘The Spell’ (Carey Films Ltd).

Watch this space!
