About Marcin
Marcin Mazurek is a Polish composer for Film, Television and Games based in London, UK. His art lies in composing memorable melodies and crafting unique, distinctive soundscapes, each meticulously designed to enhance the narrative and atmosphere of every film, immersing the audience in the story’s emotional landscape.
Marcin has composed music for projects that were presented at numerous international festivals and earned recognition at important industry events and awards. Most notably, his score for Rock, Paper, Scissors has been recognised at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, earning him a Best Score nomination in the Short Film (Live Action) category. His score for A Love Worth Fighting For won Best Original Score at PRIFF.
Films featuring his music have achieved international acclaim, including the BAFTAs (winning Best British Short Film 2025 with Rock, Paper, Scissors), Festival de Cannes (3rd Prize in La Cinef category with Bunnyhood), One World Media Awards (1st Prize with Knife’s Edge, nomination with Hungry for Freedom), Sundance Film Festival (Bunnyhood), BFI London Film Festival (The Nobody), IDA Documentary Awards (Nomination for Hungry for Freedom), RTS Television Awards (Nomination for Tastes of the Past), Grierson Awards (Nomination for Hungry for Freedom), BIFA (Longlist with Bunnyhood), Young Arrows (Finalist with Have you Herd?), Manchester Animation Festival (Best Student Film with Bunnyhood) as well as many others.
Marcin holds a First Class Honours degree in Film Music (BA) from Leeds Conservatoire and a Master’s degree in Composing for Film and Television from National Film and Television School, where he studied under John Keane and Stuart Earl. Marcin continues to develop his craft under the mentorship of award-winning composer David Schweitzer, currently assisting him on several projects.
A classically trained pianist from a young age, Marcin gradually started experimenting with composition, initially writing primarily for piano. After being introduced to music production software, he began exploring the potential of writing for orchestra. Inspired by Krakow’s Film Music Festival, he developed an interest in film music. He actively participates in masterclasses and meetings with people from the film music industry, including composers such as Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat, and Brian Tyler as well as producers and directors. In 2018, Marcin was selected to participate in Krakow Film Music Festival’s “Masterclasses for Young Composers” as part of the Young Talent Award Competition.
Marcin ensures his music stays versatile by not limiting his creativity to a certain style or genre and proactively seeking challenging opportunities across very different projects. His art relies on finding original textures for each film and creating soundworlds specific to each project. Marcin often blends in various live-recorded textures into his scores, whether it be found sounds or extended techniques on instruments like flute, violin, or others. Whenever possible, Marcin sets out to begin collaboration as early as possible, often supplying sketches and suites into the edit to connect his music with the visuals. Aside from frequently working with talented musicians and singers in his studio, Marcin has conducted and recorded some of his scores at AIR Studios in London.
Other festivals that presented films with Marcin’s music include Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival (Bunnyhood), Edinburgh International Film Festival (Bunnyhood), DOK Leipzig (Bunnyhood), PÖFF Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (Bunnyhood), Sarajevo Film Festival (Bunnyhood), Ottawa International Animation Festival (Bunnyhood), Animafest Zagreb (Bunnyhood), London Short Film Festival (Bunnyhood), Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival (The Bunker, Just A Weekend), Wildlife Film Festival Rotterdam (Rise of the White Ibis), Angers Premiers Plans Film Festival (Bunnyhood), Aesthetica Film Festival (Just A Weekend, The Nobody, Rock, Paper, Scissors), Anibar Animation Festival (Best Student Film with Bunnyhood), Linoleum Animation Festival (Special Mention with Bunnyhood), Animateka (Young Talent Student Jury Award with Bunnyhood), Odense International Film Festival (The Bunker), MAMI Mumbai Film Festival (Bunnyhood), Newport Beach Film Festival (The Bunker), Norwich Film Festival (Rock, Paper, Scissors, Just A Weekend), Bolton Film Festival (Just A Weekend), Manchester Film Festival (Just A Weekend), British Shorts (The Nobody, Bunnyhood), Cambridge Film Festival (Rock, Paper, Scissors), The British Short Film Awards (Rock, Paper, Scissors) and many more.
