Dog Run

Composer

Jonathan composed the original score for Lorna Nickson Brown's award-winning short film, DOG RUN. He received a nomination for the Crystal Pine Award for ‘Best Original Score for Short Film’ at the International Sound and Film Music Festival in 2023, and was long-listed at the British Short Film Awards in the same category. The score for DOG RUN is inspired by the work of Jazz musician Bill Frisell with echoes of hybrid guitar and synth driven scores such as Blanck Mass' CALM WITH HORSES.
