Much to celebrate here! ”The Kill Hole” hit the world on DVD/Blu-Ray and iTunes on April 9, the same day we completed the 5.1 theatrical mix and sound design for “Keiko: The Untold Story.” And to boot, Chad Bosemen (star of “The Kill Hole” and director of “Heaven” scored here at AW) celebrates his April 12 release of the critically acclaimed “42: The Jackie Robinson Story!” And not only that, the entire “The Kill Hole” score by Jason Wells was released on CD and iTunes as well. AUDIOWELLS is having one hell of a year already! Now, enter Phiamma Elias’s “HOMESKILLIT” which should keep us busy for the next 3 months…

February 7th, 2013Wabbit Season… Doc Season….
Yes, it is doc season.. Two docs to be exact! The powerful, gorgeous and uplifting “Keiko: The Untold Story” by Theresa Demarest, and the emotional and timely “Bully’d” by none other than James Westby. The former is a feature chronicling the real-life odyssey of the legendary Orca who starred as Freewilly, the latter is an extraordinary 30 min film which examines the complexity of high-school bullying. Yes. It’s a gift to be mixing, sound designing, and scoring these films. To celebrate, we sank a few spare $ into new toys, including ProTools X, and ton of new plug-ins, and delicious surround features. Times are good! Doc on!!
September 28th, 2012Chadwick Boseman’s “Heaven”
Not only is he the star of “The Kill Hole” and the upcoming “42″ playing Jackie Robinson opposite Harrison Ford, he’s also an astonishing filmmaker. After meeting at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival last winter for the premier of “The Kill Hole,” he finally called and had me score his latest titled “Heaven” which is a stunning drama involving a troubled ex-con struggling for his identity. We just wrapped a week ago and WOW! What an amazing experience. He had a vision which led the score to unexpected dimensions. Great director. Sad its over…
August 9th, 2012“We Grew Wings” complete, “The Kill Hole” storming the festivals, and “Rid of Me” on Netflix!
What times they are. We finished the amazing documentary “We Grew Wings” (a portrait of the legendary and current female track and field stars of Oregon), and in the same breath, incredible news for the films just completed at the beginning of the year. More announcements for “The Kill Hole” to come. In the mean time, stream “Rid of Me” on Netflix! Having just watched it for the first time since TriBeCa 2011, I can now confidently say WOW! What a film!!!
June 8th, 2012Mixing in 5.1 Surround??? Why yes. Yes we are…
After collaborating with Jason Edwards over at NewKrackle Audible Effects on a recent feature documentary on extreme kayaking, AUDIOWELLS is finally doing complete 5.1 surround mixing for film and television. Darn it!! Does that mean I have to re-photograph the entire studio for the webpage again? Trust me! They’re here.. and they’re ALL AROUND ME!!!!
May 7th, 2012“Reconvergence” Shines at the Maryland Film Festival
It broke my heart to have to miss the world premier, but our little gem of a documentary “Reconvergence” apparently blew minds, drew tears, and got rave reviews and was reported by the crew to be big, loud, and beautiful on the silver screen. Much appreciation to all involved for working with me from across the country to help make this the special film that it is….

February 17th, 2012“Reconvergence” is finally complete!!!
What a journey… what a film. ”Reconvergence” is by far the most brilliant, spiritual and timely documentary I have ever had the pleasure of working on. It required me composing 90 minutes of continuous music with hardly a breath EVER! Not to mention, 90 minutes of dialogue clean-up, sound design, and mixing. WHEW!!! And in the end, it was so worth the labor. I can’t wait for the world to experience this true masterpiece. It’s like the human version of “Koyaanisqatsi,” it is visually stunning, relevant, challenging, enlightening, intoxicating, and ultimately uplifting. You will never think of chickens in the same way again, I promise…. See the trailer! Become a fan!!!
February 17th, 2012“The Kill Hole” premiers @ SBIFF
“The Kill Hole,” for which I completed all original music, sound design, sound editing, mixing, and mastering, premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on January 28, 2012. Present were director Mischa Webley, producer Zach Hagan, stars Billy Zane, Tory Kittles, Chadwick Bosemen (now staring in the new Jackie Robinson biopic opposite Harrison Ford), and yours truly. It was one amazing week in the beautiful sunny, 72 degree weather. We all even attended Martin Scorsese’s 3 hour film discussion together, then partied ’till they threw us out. It was grand. Reviews and response have been phenomenal so far.. Fingers crossed!!! See pics here!
November 21st, 2011“Rid of Me” opens in NYC to rave reviews!
Rave reviews by New York Times and LA Times. Thanks everyone for such and amazing journey.
