Nice review from The Skinny
I love Miranda July so this is great I think.
“One prize was for a filmmaker who hasn’t received formal education or training or funding during the production of their film, and this went to Guy Woods for his wonderfully whimsical comedy Mouth, which sees a low-energy Grim Reaper named Sharon getting too close to her latest victim. Imagine if The Seventh Seal was directed by Miranda July and you’d be part-way to Mouth’s adorably strange, kooky vibe.”
I am Composer and Executive Producer on this wonderful film by Guy Woods- which just won Young Scottish Film Makers Award at Glasgow Shorts 2024.
Fantastic news that the film The Debutante I scored won this prestigious award.
The Debutante has been on an amazing award winning journey. Thanks to Ab at Animate and the director Elizabeth Hobbs for the chance to collaborate on this.
Looking forward to going to the BAFTA’S!

Hutch Demouilpied’s elegant, classical score immerses us even deeper into the atmosphere of the 1930s, accompanying Hobbs’ creative experiments and amplifying their expressive allure. While the dinner party the film depicts might have “failed,” The Debutante itself definitely satisfies our appetite for creative animation.
“The Debutante” directed by Elizabeth Hobbes (UK) — Winner
Ellen Jury Statement: “With a masterful, fluid use of ink, paint, collage and witty narration, this bold and humorous animated story unspools an act of rebellion, brilliantly challenging a class-based tradition. From a 1930s story by surrealist artist Lenora Carrington, a spirited woman persuades a hyena from the London Zoo to take her place at a party in her honor. The results are fun and startling.”
ANIMATION
“The Debutante” directed by Elizabeth Hobbs (UK) — Winner
Jury Statement: “This short embodies the highly charged political commentary and witty satire of its source material in its frenetic form, managing to be both uncomfortable and funny as it is incisive.”
