Mixcraft user Matt Hickinbottom and Musical Motion Pictures won the Best Music award for the score to Emily the Little Match Girl at the Midlands Movies 2022 Awards. Emily the Little Match Girl is a 2021 retelling of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, The Little Match Girl in which a girl who works in a match factory embarks on a magical journey during Christmastime.
The animated film features the voices of David Bradley (Doctor Who, Game of Thrones) and Megan Sadler as Emily. The film was created by Writer/Director Matthew Hickinbottom, who also served as the film's composer. Matthew used Mixcraft and virtual instruments from EastWest Sounds to compose the score before the production even commenced.
Emily the Little Match Girl was one of five films nominated for Best Music (Score or Song) in this past weekend's 2022 Midlands Movie Awards. These awards honor local films produced in the Midlands region of England released in the previous year whether they be shorts, features, animation, or documentaries.
Congratulations from Acoustica to Matt Hickinbottom and Musical Motion Pictures!
