Recent studio news includes mixing a 9-minute video segment of UC Irvine’s commencement ceremony that introduced US President Barack Obama last weekend during the graduation ceremonies at Angel Stadium. It was produced by UCI and Vox Pop Films, and it was fun to mix the live version in the baseball stadium itself (which is a very different environment than a movie theater with its own unique challenges).
Beyond the Brick: A Lego Brickumentary followed its Tribeca premiere with screenings at the Seattle Film Festival and has some exciting good news on the horizon to be announced shortly.
Fight Church also played at the Seattle Film Festival, alongside winning the Grand Jury Prize at it’s premiere at the Boston Film Festival, and is playing in a dozen other festivals.
In other awards news The Last Season won the Golden Gate Award for Best Bay Area Documentary at the San Francisco International Film Festival, in addition to playing at Hot Docs, Telluride Mountain Film, and Rooftop Films.
In other premieres, I mixed the beautiful sci-fi film When You Were Mine that also premiered at SIFF (making it the 3rd film I mixed playing that festival this year), and the short documentary Friends You Haven’t Met Yet premiered at Dances With Films.
And lastly it was a great pleasure to be a speaker at the Maryland Film Festival’s Sound + Vision film panel where I got to discuss the art of film sound alongside a host of other talented directors and musicians. It’s always an honor to be selected to speak on the art of film sound, and I had a fantastic time up in Baltimore!
Current projects include a new feature documentary by Brett Whitcomb (whom I previously worked with on GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling), a short film by Independent Spirt Award Nominee Jeff Waldron, and an upcoming video game title for Paramount Pictures.
