Big news: Yesterday I won a Silver Screen Award for Creative Use of Sound at the Young Director Awards, presented at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. @youngdirectoraward
Bigger news: I have spent the past 3 days galavanting around the South of France drinking Aperol Spritzes and getting some incredibly hard fits off. I’ve included the laurels on my fit pics because to me, those are the real winners.
Biggest shoutout is to the sound team on “Terminally Ill”:
Production Sound Mixer: Sarah Nogly @politeusagi
Music Supervisor: Sen Moreira @sen.moreira
Music by colloboh @colloboh and Jared Arnold @jared_arnold
Music Consultant: David Nkemere @soapyfranco
Sound Designer: Jared Arnold @jared_arnold
A year ago Dave and I recorded a very shitty demo of me rapping what would become the soundtrack to the film. (This will never see the light of day). In a few short months, the team above (and our wonderful cast) worked magic to turn it into something beautiful. To receive this recognition on an international level is an honor, and I’m indebted to everybody else who made it happen.
Swipe for some BTS and a surprise at the end.
