We’re thrilled to be on board as music supervisor for the upcoming feature film LFD Hope, directed by BAFTA nominee Joshua Loftin. The docufiction is set in London’s peripheries, telling the stories of six men from the margins of society as they struggle to find a version of themselves they can believe in. ✨ Produced by Sea Fox Films, Lorenz Films, Gallivant Film and Goodkids Productions, the film has been selected for IFFR’s programme as one of ten feature works-in-progress, with a preview screening taking place next week!

The team behind LFD - Hope are delighted to have been accepted onto @iffr Darkroom 2026 to showcase our film at CineMart during the Rotterdam festival next year. A big step towards securing a distribution plan for our independently funded feature film. IFFR Pro’s Darkroom offers a platform for the international industry to access exclusive previews of recently or nearly completed films seeking completion or gap funding, sales agents and festival selections. ‘In London’s margins, five men navigate grief, isolation, and longing. Through intimate, symbolic encounters, their lives reflect one another, and the city bears silent witness to pain, confession, and the quiet emergence of hope.’ A huge thanks to our cast and crew. We will be sure to send over updates as we progress

As we enter the final stretch of a ten-day shoot to complete a project that’s been ten years in the making, we’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to help us cross the finish line. It’s never an easy request asking for donations to support a film project, but any contribution you can offer would be deeply appreciated. We have gathered an incredible team driven purely by their belief in this project and their love for Josh’s vision. @rwdfilm @charley_foxtrot @joshua.harry.brown @emilyjanesheppard @hmwmh @indi_christian @maxrollason @oliviarosehulme Link to the greenlit is in the bio.
