Sarah Gavron’s critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama, Rocks, won the Best British Independent Film last night at the 2020 British Independent Film Awards.

Rocks, which was nominated one of the 50 best films of 2020 by The Guardian, also walked away with the award for Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Most Promising Newcomer along with the Best Casting craft award which was announced in January 2021.

Rocks received a total of 15 nominations at the 2020 BIFAs, including a nomination for the Best Music Award for which ThinkSync’s own Connie Farr was named for her music supervision work on the film alongside Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch, the film’s composer.

Eva Riley’s Perfect 10 won The Raindance Discovery Award last night at the 2020 British Independent Film Awards. The film was nominated for two other awards including the Best Debut Director.

Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees!

Sarah Gavron’s critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama is up for: ‘Outstanding British Film’ ‘Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer’ and best ‘Director’, ‘ Leading Actress’, ‘Supporting Actress’, ‘Casting’ and ‘Editing’

The final round of voting commences March 25 and closes April 7. The BAFTA Awards will take place Apr. 11.

ThinkSync’s very own Connie Farr and Dom Farley handled the music supervision for both the film and it’s official trailer. The film is currently available to stream on Netflix.

Equipped with nothing but their wits and scraps from a shipwreck, Richard Hammond (The Grand Tour) and Tory Belleci (MythBusters) must figure out how to build their way to safety and attract rescue services to make it off a deserted island.

The Great Escapists, available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from the 29th of January, 2021, is a brand new survival series that sees the duo form a healthy rivalry instead of working together to get off the island – Hammond attempting to build a car from scratch and Belleci more interested in blowing things up.

Connie Farr was the music supervisor for this trailer which features Boney M’s ‘Gotta Go Home’

Released to critical acclaim on the 16th of December, Netflix Original The Ripper, which follows the half a decade manhunt for the infamous Yorkshire Ripper, exploring the misogyny of the press and police, and the breakdown of police procedure and pile-up of misinformation surrounding the deaths of 13 women.

With great reviews in IndieWire, Business Insider, and Forbes along with an impressive 78% on RottenTomates, its no wonder that The Ripper spent 3 weeks at number one on Netflix UK, as the most streamed docuseries over the 2020 festive period.

Connie Farr was the music supervisor on this production, and set the tone of the 70s with a great soundtrack that includes tracks by Suzi Quatro, The Maisonettes and Curtis Maldoon.

The Ripper is available to stream on Netflix now!
