Original score from the 2024 drama feature film directed by Will Seefried, starring Fionn O’Shea, Robert Aramayo and Jodi Balfour, produced by Wolflight, Paradise City, Cinetic Media, GIant Films and Memento Films International, released by Gravitas Ventures (USA) and ASC Distribution (France).

THE STORY: A gay novelist and his psychiatric nurse bond over a series of doctor-ordered ‘dates’ as he tells the story of a friendship which spiraled out of control when they turned to a risky procedure to cure themselves of feelings for each other.

THE SCORE: “Creating the score for Lilies Not for Me was a labor of love; I worked closely with director Will Seefried for months with the script to envision what the story sounded like, creating all central themes ahead of the filming. The fully fleshed out score came to life with the incredible picture. My goal was to highlight the different colors and energies of the solo instruments and orchestra to relate the intimacy, excitement, brutality, heartbreak, and love in the story.” – Theodosia Roussos 

THE COMPOSER: Theodosia Roussos scored the Emmy-nominated HBO original documentary Being Mary Tyler Moore, and Jennifer Esposito’s independent feature Fresh Kills, following her work on Naomi Osaka for Netflix. Theodosia began her scoring career by working with Oscar-nominee Emile Mosseri on The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Theodosia’s opera film Polymnia, commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects and National Sawdust was hailed as “haunting and beautiful” by Opera News. The fully staged 90-minute chamber opera premiered in January 2023 at UCLA’s Little Theater, directed by Diana Wyenn. Theodosia is a classically trained oboist, English horn player, soprano, and composer.  She holds two Master of Music degrees from University of Southern California, an Artist Diploma from Oberlin Conservatory, and a Double Bachelor’s from University of California Los Angeles.
