David has been nominated for the European Talent Award 2015 in both the film score and sound design categories, with the winners due to be announced next month after a public showcase at SoundTrack_Cologne.

Earlier this summer David finished working on three new short films that were premiered in London this week: An Allegory of Love (dir. Kateryna Zabulonska), Grip (dir. Laura Seward) and Shy (dir. Emanuele Bonomi).

A film score composed by David Allen has been selected to be shown as part of a Composition for Screen Showcase hosted in the Britten Theatre at the Royal College of Music on Wednesday evening.

David has just begun work on the score for Danny's Journey, an upcoming film directed by Felipe Toledo that follows a young boy who explores his love for fantasy books as a way of coping with the death of his mother.

David has just finished composing the score for the biopic Railway Redemption by London-based film company Third Channel.

David has just begun working on the score for Fiendish Media's latest film, Forbidden, which tells an alternative story of the Garden of Eden. Considering what might have happened in the days of Genesis, the story explores the possible scenario that played out between the first man and woman and the Devil himself.

The music for the film is drawing upon suspense and horror traditions, mixed with influences of Gregorian plainchant and religious choral music, with the idea of creating a score that preludes the Fall and the history of the evil of humankind that followed.
