David Holmes nominated for IFTA Award
The Belfast DJ-cum-producer might have another acceptance speech to make
David Holmes has been nominated twice for ‘Best Original Score’ at this year’s Irish Film & Television Awards, which take place on February 14 in Dublin’s Burlington Hotel. Earning Holmer his nods are the soundtracks he conjured up last year for Hunger and Cherrybomb, a film by Belfast newcomers Glen Leyburn and Lisa Barros D’Sa which stars Rupert Grint, a.k.a. Harry Potter’s Ron Weasley.
He faces strong competition though from 2006 IFTA Award-winner Stephen McKeon who’s back this year with his score for Niko & The Way To The Stars, and Anna Rice who supplied the original music for Anton.
