Throughout this project, I manage the film's sound elements creatively and technically with the sound team. I design the soundscape of the film in collaboration with the Director, Francis Rudd, and I overlook and have creative input for the soundtrack in collaboration with the Composer, Amelia Gilbert. I also record all the sound bites and mix for the film on set.
