211 – Women Talking

This talk with the sound team behind director Sarah Polly’s new film, Women Talking, was recorded on location at Formosa Studios in Toronto. The film offered some surprisingly difficult sound issues, including an incredibly tricky dialog clean up and edit. Predominantly in a single location, sound was left to tell the story outside those walls. Supervising Sound Editors Jane Tattersall & David McCallum as well as re-recording mixer Joe Morrow give us a deep dive on how this soundtrack came together.
