zoetrope
Made with Hat Trick/ Mercurio, starring Daisy Ridely (star wars) & Jason Tobin (warrior), and written by Chris Brandon (Bloodlands). This was a drama recorded across three timezones with a studio link up to hong kong, London and toronto to accomodate it’s star accolades.
I directed, produced and sound designed it.
It was a fascinating insight into the process of executive producer Jed Mercurio. A brilliant, hands off mentor. If people ever put me in charge of stuff i want to act like him.
Written by derek Kolstad (john Wick) & starring vanessa kirby (mission impossible: dead reckoning), david olelowo (selma) & directed by John Scott Dryden. This was my first foray into sound designing in dolby. The challenge: make john wick style action for audio.
An involved and intense process involving experimentation and a lot of trial and error, the results speak for themselves. The opportunities of dolby opening up the surround realm to headphone listening are immense. This was an incredibly playground to experiment with that.

I was a script editor & then subsequently audio editor on this show. it was part of an intensive training under audio drama genius John Scott Dryden.
This show absolutely cleaned up in the awards leading to a bizarre situation where i was the only person who worked at goldhawk available to pick up the aria award. The student becomes the award-getter.
