London Film Academy is thrilled to celebrate the success of Ellis Walker, a 2023 LFA MA Filmmaking course graduate whose film "Soul Mates" is set to screen at the Ealing Film Festival on 29 November

The film’s evocative soundtrack was composed by Bronte Tucker and recorded in July 2023 with the Guildhall Orchestra, in partnership with the Guildhall School of Music & Drama

The film has already garnered accolades, with screenings at the West London Film Festival and an Honourable Mention at the Brighton Rocks International Film Festival earlier this year.
