DELIVERY

delivery1.avif

Sonicular provided bespoke Foley design for Delivery, an award-winning British short film written and directed by Ben Lankester.

 

Set within an understaffed NHS maternity ward, the film follows a newly-qualified midwife as she navigates the most challenging night shift of her career, exploring the physical and psychological pressures faced by frontline healthcare workers.

Working closely with the post-production team, we created and recorded custom Foley performances to enhance the realism, intimacy, and emotional impact of the story, helping to immerse audiences in the world of the film.

 

Delivery has received widespread critical acclaim, winning Best Short Film at the British Short Film Awards and earning a nomination for Best British Short Film at the British Independent Film Awards, alongside numerous international festival awards.
