"I am the summation of every meeting and every project I’ve ever been involved with for the last 20 years."
Like a hockey coach, I strive to ensure everyone is skating in the same direction and playing the same game.
Working on sound is like working on the third dimension. We are the third dimension.
“I’m a creative techie, but you’ll never see me sacrifice creativity to technology.”
"I play with sound the way a painter plays with colour."
My job is to find clarity and precision in dialogue, just as the filmmaker envisioned it.
“You need to have seen many images and to have a practiced eye in order to create visual effects that fit seamlessly into a sequence.”
“Experience is my most valuable tool.”
I love seeing everyone work together on a project. We work as a team, not alone.
“I sift carefully through the brief for each new film or TV project for a word that resonates, that will give me a handle on the idea behind the project, its spirit, its personality.”
