What a year it’s already been for AUDIOWELLS.

August 1st, 2011“Rid of Me” Wins Best US Fiction Film at Michael Moore’s TCFF

Yes, it did!!! WOW!!!!  Way to go James and Katie and the entire cast and crew! This was a huge labor of love for all of us and it looks like the rewards are abundant with a NYC , LA, and Portland release on the horizon.  I personally spent a year and a half in the trenches with James developing and recording the music, then completing every iota of the post-production sound.  WHEW!  Our baby’s all grown up….

May 6th, 2011“Rid of Me” Premiers at Tribeca; receives RAVE reviews!!!

After 1 1/2 years in post production completing the entire soundtrack, sound design, and mix, James Westby’s “Rid of Me” delighted New York audiences and critics alike for its world premier at the Tribeca Film Festival.  Variety’s John Anderson noted the film was “all held together by a terrific soundtrack.” It was an amazing two weeks in NYC for the cast and crew.  Congratulations everyone on a truly wonderful film.  Now, it’s back to finishing the score for “The Kill Hole.”

February 11th, 2011Out with the new, in with the newer!

August 23rd, 2010James Westby’s “Rid of Me” picture is finally locked!

After completing the entire musical score over six months ago, we finally had our test screenings of Westby’s new feature “Rid of Me,” locked the edit, and have begun all of the final sound design and mixing here at AUDIOWELLS.  This amazing thriller/comedy/drama is one gorgeous, hallucinatory sound-canvas! So much fun lies ahead over the next few months….

August 12th, 2010“This is Now” is Completed

6 months in post-production, and the brilliant director/writer David Weingarten and myself have completed his feature length follow-up to “Addison’s Wall”   A delicious canvas of a film, “This is Now” marks a major departure for Mr. Weingarten in terms of approaching fiction.   His lead actor simply wandered through the world trying to find the true essence of existence, and along the way every image and every encounter were completely unscripted and spontaneous.  This is true cinema verite at it’s best.  It was a pleasure to paint the world of sound and record the music for this picture.   I look forward to the premier!!!!
