Stephen O’Connell Awarded 3RD PRIZE in the Score Relief 2022 Film Score Competition

With over 1200 scores submitted in total and over 400 within his division, Stephen O’Connell took home the 3rd Place Prize for his score to the short film I Catch You, a work by Four of Wands Productions. With a brief that called for a textural score, with less of a focus on melodic elements and more of a focus on supporting the emotion of the monologue, Stephen approached the score with minimal time to spare. Completing the score across two days, he managed to just submit in time for the competition. It was a surprise and delight when the competition results were announced some few months later in the year. He is incredibly grateful for the recognition and thanks everyone who took part in the organisation, participation and adjudication of the competition.
