In the harshness of midwinter, an unnamed man attempts to travel across ten miles of Yukon wilderness to arrive at a camp where his friends are while bracing temperatures dropping to seventy-five degrees below zero with his companion, a wolf-dog. Struggling to survive, he makes multiple attempts to build a simple fire.

Mathieu Alvado - Composer

I'm a Paris-based composer for film, video games, and commercials, with formal training from both the Paris Conservatory and the Bordeaux Conservatory.

I ‘ve composed the music for the animated Netflix series Astérix & Obélix: Le Combat des Chefs and for the video game Empire of the Ants, developed by Tower Five and published by Microids. I've composed the original score for over 60 short films and worked as an orchestrator and conductor on more than 30 feature films for renowned composers including Pierre Adenot (Beauty and the Beast), Guillaume Roussel (The Three Musketeers, Outcast, La French), Erwann Kermorvant (Overdose, Carbone), and Christophe Héral (The Adventures of Tintin video game, Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends).

In 2012, the score for L’ Attaque du Monstre Géant Suceur de Cerveaux de l’Espace received three Jerry Goldsmith Awards (Best Composer, Best Short Live-Action Score, and Best Song). To Build a Fire won Best Short Film Score at Fimucité in 2016, followed by Rebirth in 2019. In 2018, A Song for the Whales was named Best Short Film Score by the French Film Music Composers Union (UCMF), as were Blind Eye and Royal Madness in 2020.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of recording and conducting with prestigious ensembles such as the London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Paris Symphonic Orchestra, the Paris Scoring Orchestra, as well as leading smaller ensembles for more intimate scores.
