\"Far<\/a>‘Far Away’ is a short film written, directed and produced by James Battrick of ‘A Stamp of Approval Pictures’, a film production company based in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

‘Far Away’ is the story of Alex Beck, a young man who travels for three days across mountains, fields and forests in order to replicate a similar adventure his deceased mother had completed 20 years prior, where he goes\u00a0to say his final\u00a0goodbyes. On his\u00a0journey\u00a0he faces both physical and emotional challenges that will ultimately change who he is forever. (Alex Beck is played by James Battrick).<\/p>\n

I composed the music soundtrack in\u00a0January 2015 following the completion of the footage in late 2014. It was my first opportunity to write a full soundtrack to a short film and it was a great first project\u00a0to work on\u00a0because it\u00a0allowed me the freedom to be creative with the resources I had available. With\u00a0beautiful\u00a0visual\u00a0shots and clever camerawork of the mountains, fields\u00a0and forests in the Brecon Beacons in West Wales and around Mountain Ash in Pontypridd, the music adds much needed sonic depth that captures emotions throughout the story. I really enjoyed working on this project and look forward to doing more in the future.<\/p>\n
