Hyena is the third volume in the Cineola series of film soundtrack releases - it follows the soundtracks for Tony (2010) and Moonbug (2012). Each release is published as a deluxe edition CD/Book, lovingly packaged in hardback form and filled with additional and exclusive material including photographs, interviews, stills from the films and notes from the directors. Cineola, the independent film soundtrack company, was formed by Matt Johnson in 2006, since when he has composed distinct soundtracks for numerous documentaries and feature films. Cineola have also signed an exclusive licensing deal with boutique soundtrack label Death Waltz Recording Company (known for their work with legendary composers and directors such as John Carpenter, Richard Kelly, Alan Howarth and Fabio Frizzi) to release vinyl editions from the Cineola catalogue. Released in UK cinemas on 6th March, Hyena was written and directed by Gerard Johnson and follows his critically acclaimed debut, Tony. The film was recently announced as winner of the Official Fantastic 脪rbita prize in the 'Best Feature Film' category at the Sitges 2014 film festival and Peter Ferdinando triumphed in the 'Best Actor' category at the Les Arcs film festival. The film reunites Johnson with Peter Ferdinando (A Field in England, Starred Up), who is joined by Stephen Graham (This is England, 'Boardwalk Empire'), Neil Maskell (Kill List, 'Utopia'), MyAnna Buring ('Downton Abbey', The Twilight Saga), Elisa Lasowski (Eastern Promises, 'Game of Thrones'), Tony Pitts ('Peaky Blinders', War Horse), Richard Dormer (Good Vibrations) and Gordon Brown (The Riot Club, Bronson). The film is centred around Michael Logan (Peter Ferdinando), a complex mix of high-functioning addict and corrupt police officer and his relationship with ruthless Albanian gangsters. The film documents Logan's increasingly self-destructive behaviour, the sheer brutality of the new gang lords and his spiraling descent of fear and self-doubt.
