Sketch

We collaborated with director Seth Worley for over 2 years on this incredible family-friendly monster movie. Our team brought the story to life with full sound editorial, dialogue editing and mixing, ADR, Foley, and imaginative creature sound design. Our team even traveled to Nashville to complete the final Dolby Atmos mix for worldwide release on Belmont University’s sound stage. We also completed the home theater mix and delivered fully filled music and effects for international release. We created a behind-the-scenes video to capture the nerves and excitement of mixing a feature film in Dolby Atmos!

Blood Brother

When we saw the first cut of Blood Brother, our team knew this was a special film that we needed to be a part of. It went on to win both the Grand Jury Award and Audience Choice in the US Documentary category at the Sundance Film Festival. We were thrilled that our contributions in sound design and mix could help push it to that level of recognition. We worked hard to balance the film’s emotional highs and lows with thoughtful, narrative sound design that spotlights Rocky’s journey in rural India.

Neat: The Story of Bourbon

Our team loved helping bring the story of this iconic American spirit to life. Our dynamic sound design and bold mixing highlighted the key players and stories of this industry, from the corn farmers and distillers to the collectors and consumers. With a meticulous dialogue edit and immersive sound design, we ensured that every conversation and velvety pour contained as much warmth and depth as the bourbon itself.
