Seagull

Two Cooks Productions are back at it again with another fantastic short film - Seagull.

As a big fan of the infamous Bond and Mission Impossible franchises, I couldn't wait for the opportunity to score this spy action film.

Director Anthony Ross wanted the score to pay homage to the classic spy movie soundtracks we all know and love, whilst also blending in something original.

Running at exactly 5mins, a lot happens in this film which gave me a lot to work with as the composer. I wanted to write a clear theme that gets recycled in different scenarios, each time with a different angle (time signatures, key changes etc) that ultimately leads to the complete theme in the closing moments. I particularly enjoyed scoring the phone call scene with Mother, a solo drum improv (nod to António Sanchez's brilliant score for Birdman).
