Kevin Rosen-Quan // Production Sound Mixer + Director

Deep dive with us into two scenes in this episode, starting with the very quiet and super sad dog burial of Daisy, John’s last gift from his late wife. Then continue on to a more action packed scene at the church, where John sets Viggo’s vault of blackmail and money ablaze. We discuss microphone options, firearm foley, voice efforts, reverb, and much more. Happy listening!

GUEST SPEAKER

Kevin Rosen-Quan is a Los Angeles based filmmaker who works in production sound mixing as well as directing. His passion on set is what sparked our first convos, and we both constantly nerd out about films together. I love his positive attitude and how much he pays attention to the details.
