JAMES SEYMOUR BRETT

James was thrilled to be asked to compose the score for the new film adaptation of Sir Michael Morpurgo’s novel ‘Waiting For Anya’.  The story is about a young shepherd named Jo (Noah Schnapp) who,  along with the help of the widow Horcada (Anjelica Huston), helps to smuggle jewish children across the border from Southern France into Spain.

Told skillfully as a coming of age story,  James had to deliver an intimate and delicate take on this harrowing topic,  as the dark events of the Second World War arrive at a remote Pyrenees village.
