Featuring special guests, SCOTT HECKER and THEO TAPLITZ, get ready to look, listen and learn from a master as we talk sound!
While many of you may not recognize the name, SCOTT HECKER, you know his work well. Academy Award nominee, as a Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designer with FORMOSA GROUP, Scott is one of the “sound guys” creating a sonic experience for moviegoers in films ranging from “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice”, “Mad Max: Fury Road”, “300″ and “Man of Steel” to his earlier pre-Formosa work in films like “Sommersby”, “King Ralph” and even working as a foley editor on “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.” Filmmakers and movie fans alike will love hearing Scott talk about the creativity of sound as he lays out tricks and techniques used in various films. And for a real treat, one of the greatest filmmaking secrets of all time is revealed – how Scott and his then-team created the sound of a Wookie walking in “The Empire Strikes Back.” (Hint for you – it involves eggs. Seriously!)
But what’s not to love when veteran Scott Hecker and future filmmaker THEO TAPLITZ start talking together! One listen and you’ll understand why this is one of our best shows in the can and why Theo is such an incredible young man. Theo joins us live at the midpoint of the show to talk not only filmmaking (he is already quite accomplished on the fest circuit) but his starring role in Ira Sachs’ charming new film, LITTLE MEN!
