Morgan LEE DICHTER honored with the Motion Picture Editors Guild Fellowship and Service Award On October 20, about 200 of the finest in the sound, sound editing, and mixing community from New York and across the country came together to honor the career of legendary re-recording mixer Lee Dichter. The Cinema Audio Society was a proud sponsor of the event. The Motion Picture Editors Guild Fellowship and Service Award for 2018 is given to an outstanding member for "professionalism, c o l l a b o r a t i o n , m e n t o r s h i p , generosity of spirit, and commitment to the labor movement." Lee certainly embodies all of these qualities. Additionally, his career, which spans nearly 50 years and includes hundreds of credits from blockbuster movies to TV documentaries (Wonder Wheel, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Unbreakable, Working Girl, The Muppets Take Manhattan, Ocean's Thirteen, Sleepy Hollow, Sleepless in Seattle) exemplifies artistic diversity and excellence in sound. I imagine many of you recorded a project or two that Lee mixed. I have. Opening remarks were delivered by Catherine A. Repola, the National Executive Director of Local 700.
