Composer Of The Month - Richard G. Mitchell

We kick off with Richard G Mitchell, a hugely successful composer. Recent years have established Richards reputation as one of our foremost movie composers who has been nominated for a number of awards, winning the Ivor Novello Award for the film Trial by Fire, the Royal Television Society Award for the BBC period drama, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and the Polish Academy Award forThe Call of The Toad directed by one of Poland’s most celebrated directors, Robert Glinski.

Tempesta, directed by Tim Disney, stars Malcolm McDowell, Scot Williams and Rutger Hauer, the music to accompany this thriller evokes perfectly the beautiful setting of Venice. Last year Richard scored The Sea Wolf, based on the novel by Jack London set in San Francisco in early 1900, starring Sebastian Koch (The Lives of Others), Tim Roth and Neve Campbell. Why not see for yourself and have a listen.
