Audio Post Production Company PLUSHnyc has had a very active year, including the addition of a second full floor and multiple award wins. With many new projects and campaigns underway, PLUSHnyc is looking forward to a flurry of activity in 2012.
Senior Mixer/Sound Designer Rob Fielack’s work on the Google Chrome spot “Dear Sophie” helped nab the #4 spot on Adweek’s “10 Best Commercials of 2011“. Created by ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty, “Dear Sophie” is about a father making a digital scrapbook of images, videos, and emails for his daughter, leaving the viewers a bit choked up. Earlier this year, Rob’s work on Google Chrome “Speed Tests” helped earn the spot a Golden Lion Award from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, along with numerous other awards.
Senior Mixer/Sound Designer Mike Vitacco, along with MSG, achieved the honor of being recipients of the Promax 2011 SMMA Titanium Award for Best Use of Original Music or Sound Design for “Summer Image 2“. MSG was the only regional network to take home the distinct honor of Titanium. In addition to this, Mike also received an Emmy for MSG Plus’ “Summer Image” for Best Sound Design.
Senior Mixer/Sound Designer Mike Levesque Jr. has been awarded 12 episodes in the new MTV series “Wait Till Next Year” about a Lincoln Park High School football team which, with a five-year losing streak (losing 43 games in a row), has enlisted the help of a new head coach in hopes of winning at least one game. In conjunction with Punched In The Head, Mike Jr. will be doing sound design and mixing for the series starting January 2012.
Senior Mixer/Sound Designer James Twomey, since receiving an Emmy for his work at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, has again been asked by NBC Sports to mix at the Summer Olympics 2012. He will be travelling to London in July, handling sound design and mixing of athlete profiles and long form programs at the main broadcast center in the Olympic Village.
Congratulations guys on your efforts and achievements, and here’s to an amazing 2012!

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
