Sundance Co//ab Presentation: Sound Design for Indie Movies

With our partners at Sundance Co//ab, we present this video of a recent live webinar with filmmakers Alma Har’el (Honey Boy, Bombay Beach) and Benh Zeitlin (Wendy, Beasts of the Southern Wild). In this wide-ranging conversation, Alma and Benh discuss how to use sound design to paint the world outside the frame, giving a huge scope to lower-budget indie films; how to harness the power of sound to give the audience the subjective experience of your main character; and what to look for as a director in hiring and working with your sound team.
