Samuel Sim

Samuel first gained recognition as one of Britain’s finest young composers with his award winning score for the BBC drama series, Dunkirk. Since then he has written the music for a wide variety of highly acclaimed film and television productions, most recently scoring the film Awake for the Weinstein Co, House of Saddam for HBO/BBC, and has also written additional music for Peter Morgan's adaptation of the novel The Damned United for Andy Harries' Left Bank Pictures. Sam recently completed scoring the BBC's adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. Sam is currently scoring the underwater submarine thriller The Deep for Tiger Aspect, part of the BBC's upcoming slate of exciting new dramas for Spring.

From full orchestral works, to contemporary beat driven scores, Samuel’s music is celebrated for its powerful imaginative flare which enables him to balance the commercial needs of the drama with his own bold musical aspirations.

“An extremely inventive and talented composer” (Michael Kamen: Film Composer).
