THE LEO Nomination

I am very happy to announce that my Sound Direction for “Six Easy Pieces” is nominated for THE LEO at this year`s 25th Braunschweig International film festival.

“Six Easy Pieces” is a cooperation with director and artist Reynold Reynolds. I was responsible for the whole sound and music on this project.

”The Leo“ is the Braunschweig International Film Festival’s short film music competition. A minimum of 14 short movies are in competition for the prize for the most successful combination of image and music or sound. A four-member jury consisting of representatives from the film and music business selects the winner. The composer or sound designer receives “The Leo”, the prize money of € 2000 is divided equally between the director and the composer or sound designer. (Text by www.filmfest-braunschweig.de)
