2008 is shaping up to be one of Guy's busiest. The first half has seen him score no less than four different documentary projects and a Telemovie:
The documentaries are The Fairweather Man, (Dir: Aviva Zeigler) an intimate portrait of the life and work of Australia's greatest abstract painter Ian Fairweather. The Prime Minister is Missing, (Dir: Peter Butt) which reinvestigates all aspects of the disappearance of Harold Holt. Family Fortunes, (Prod: ABC) a 4 part series following the financial ups and downs of four prominent Australians. Infamous Victory - Ben Chifley's Battle for Coal, (Dir: Geoff Burton) which follows the Chifley Labor government's "boots and all" attack on striking coal miners of 1949.
Guy has also recently scored the Telemovie Scorched (Dir Tony Tilse) about the bushfire threat on a drought-ravaged Sydney of the future to be aired later this year on Nine.

In late 2007, Guy’s completed the score for the documentary “Fat Chance” . The program aired on SBS to great acclaim.
Fat Chance is a deeply personal documentary that follows Yuka Sekiguchi, an engaging, articulate, self-deprecating filmmaker who has decided to become a guinea pig in a downsizing experiment.
