Film Work

In 2011 I began producing demos of music for film. The power of the home studio was coming along nicely and I had my eye on getting placements in film and TV through an A&R company called Taxi. They got my money and thats about all I got. I kept plugging away and eventually started hooking up with filmmakers a bit closer to home. I also got more involved in the production side, sound effects, Foley, mixing and editing. This has opened up a whole new gang of people and a new professional world to work in.

The Lynda Myles Project – A Manifesto

Presented at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August 2023. As the supervising sound editor, I was responsible for and produced all aspects of the sound design, dialogue, composition, and music production.

Structuring this intimate and insightful portrait of Lynda Myles, academic Susan Kemp invokes a form known to define, criticise, and shift paradigms in culture – the manifesto. Meshing archival material with interview subjects including Jim Hickey and B. Ruby Rich, Kemp employs a series of provocations to tease out the philosophy behind a lifetime of ground-breaking film work. In the film’s central conversation, Myles beautifully expresses the thrill of putting on a show (including the 1972 Women’s Event, pioneering retrospectives of Douglas Sirk, Sam Fuller and Raoul Walsh and many more) while always avoiding the polite.

CINEMA HAS BEEN MY TRUE LOVE: THE WORK AND TIMES OF LYNDA MYLES

Presented at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August 2023, this documentary film was directed by Mark Cousins, United Kingdom, 2023. I developed the sound design and mixed the film.

Lynda Myles, an influential connoisseur of cinema, reflects on her adventures in the film culture she helped establish. From 1973 to 1980, as the first female director of any festival, Myles transformed the Edinburgh Film Festival into a vibrant, iconoclastic mecca of discovery.

In The Light

In January 2020 I completed work on a feature length documentary film ‘In The Light’, a film by Susan Kemp, as the supervising sound editor. I produced all aspects of the sound design, dialogue, composition, and music production. There is a dedicated website for this film where you can watch the full film https://inthelightfilm.com/
