In the fall of 2025, Tonebenders’ hosts Tim Muirhead & Renè Coronado travelled to Mexico City to host a talk with 3 members of the Pan’s Labyrinth sound team. The event was to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary. Re-Recording Mixer Jaime Baksht, Supervising Sound Editor/Sound Designer Martín Hernández and Sound Editor Alejandro Quevedo, chase down their fond memories of working on director Guillermo del Toro’s modern day masterpiece. This episode also features a quick message from Guillermo himself! This talk was recorded in front of an enthusiastic room made up of the Mexican sound community. Big “Thanks” go out to the Motion Picture Sound Editors and the SAE Institute in Mexico City for sponsoring and hosting this wonderful event. This episode was edited and mixed by Calos Honc.
