14 F A L L 2 0 1 7 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y CHRIS NEWMAN AND JEFF HABOUSH JOIN CINEMA AUDIO SOCIETY BOARD OF DIRECTORS On November 6, 2017, the Cinema Audio Society welcomed new Board members: re-recording mixer Jeffrey J. Haboush CAS and production sound mixer Chris Newman CAS. Chris and Jeff will be filling the vacancies on the Board left by the recent passing of production mixer Ed Greene CAS and the retirement of Foley mixer Mary Jo Lang CAS. "Adding new Board members at this time is bittersweet but we are proud and inspired by the fact that we can welcome two dynamic and valued members of the sound community to fill shoes that we thought might be impossible to fill," said CAS President Mark Ulano. With over 200 feature and television mixing credits, Jeff Haboush has four Oscar nominations and is a CAS, BAFTA, and Emmy nominee as well as an Emmy winner. His career began in 1978 at B&B Sound Studios, Burbank, California. In 1989, he moved to Warner Bros./Goldwyn Sound and in 1999, moved to Sony Studios. Currently, Jeff can be found bouncing between Technicolor and Smart Post Sound mixing stages. In a career that spans more than 40 years, Newman has been the production sound mixer on more than 85 feature films and garnered eight Oscar ® nominations with three wins for The English Patient, Amadeus, and The Exorcist. Newman was honored in 2013 with the CAS Career Achievement Award. He also won a CAS Award for Outstanding Sound Mixing for The English Patient and has BAFTA wins for Fame and Amadeus. Prior to working on feature films, Chris spent a decade working on documentaries, including working for Ted Yates's NBC unit in Southeast Asia in 1966. Having taught sound and filmmaking in Europe, Brazil, Mexico, and at NYU and Columbia University, Chris currently teaches both sound and production at the School of Visual Arts in New York. by Dorothea Sargent Jeff Haboush CAS Chris Newman CAS 54TH ANNUAL CAS AWARDS Timeline has begun and we are accepting submissions The timeline is as follows: • Entry Submission Forms available online as of Monday, October 16, 2017, on the CAS website at www.CinemaAudioSociety.org Located under the CAS Awards tab, on the site you will find: CAS 54th Awards Submission Forms CAS 54th Awards Entry & Voting Rules & Regulations CAS 54th Awards Timeline CAS 54th Awards Promotional Regulations There is no limit to the number of entries or categories you may enter.
