THE CAS CAREER ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD RECIPIENT:
Re-Recording Mixer
Paul Massey CAS
Paul Massey's distinguished career behind the console covers a list of titles
that many film fans hold dear. The number of projects he's mixed—more
than 220—is astounding. Just reading out loud the list of his nine Oscar
nominations (including one win), requires a little breath control: Legends of
the Fall, Air Force One, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,
Walk the Line, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, 3:10 to Yuma,
The Martian, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Ford v Ferrari. Many of these projects
were also nominated for or won a CAS Award.
Paul was kind enough to take some time for a Zoom chat to discuss the
early days of his career, a couple projects, and his time in the CAS. Here
are some excerpts from our discussion.
