Directed by duo David and Nathan Zellner, Bleecker Street’s “Sasquatch Sunset'' made its World Premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Featuring Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg, Nathan Zellner and Christophe Zajac-Denek, the film follows a year in the life of a singular family.
“We love the team at Heard City and have been fortunate enough to mix all our films there,” shares Heard City Client & Filmmaker David Zellner. “Our latest film Sasquatch Sunset was particularly challenging in terms of the nuances of its intricate sound design, and Evan knocked it out of the park, it’s our best mix yet.”
Sasquatch Sunset premiered on January 19 at 6:15 p.m. MST in the Eccles Theatre with additional screenings through January 27 in the Ray Theatre, Egyptian Theatre, Rose Wagner Center and Redstone Cinemas.
“The sound mix for Sasquatch Sunset was a unique experience for me,” comments Heard City Sound Designer/Mixer Evan Mangiamele. “With no spoken dialogue, there was so much space in the soundtrack to let the sound design (Jack Sobo) and music (Octopus Project) shine. It was lovely working with David and Nathan on the mix. They had a strong point of view on how their film should sound, but were very open and collaborative in experimenting with other ideas and directions for the mix. I’m so glad they trusted us with the sound mix and can’t wait for people to see and hear the film.”
Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
