I am very pleased to see that one of the first feature films I completed here in South Australia since emigrating from the UK has done so well in the festival circuit . Highlights of the awards picked up by Gods Own Country so far are:
- Jury Prize for Best film in Berlin,
- Best British feature film at Edinburgh
- Best Director for Francis Lee at Sundance
This weekend I’m flying out to the Melbourne IFF to catch it while it is playing locally. More info below the trailer
I worked on it as foley artist and foley editor, alongside Duncan Campbell (Foley recordist) at the SA film corp foley studios. It was an exceptionally challenging gig but very rewarding. The film has front title music, no other score until well into the final reel and the lead is not a big speaker. There is wall to wall foley. Challenging scenes involved making sounds for dry wall building, delivering lambs, driving a cow into a trailer etc etc.. I’ve written about the foley sessions in an article downloadable here
You can buy tickets from the film website here. It is currently on the world wide festival circuit and is released in America in October
