Poster of Dredd, Short Film with post-production sound by Thomas Allis

The world we inhabit is a twisted tapestry.

A struggling black actor's pursuit of a role spirals into a psychological descent, blurring the lines between his identity and the villain he portrays.


Supporting the Story

My approach to the soundtrack was to ground the audience in the character's reality before gradually introducing subtle sonic shifts that reflected his psychological descent. Rather than drawing attention to the sound itself, each decision was made to reinforce the film's growing sense of unease and uncertainty and put the audience in the mindset of the protagonist, Kojo.
