His numerous credits include Public Enemies, The Princess Bride, Analyze This, Tombstone, and JFK. Sandy was once a visiting professor at UCLA, teaching the course "Sound Design for Directors." He even acted as the picture editor for John Mellencamp's video A Ride Back Home.

The CAS extends our thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of Sandy. Sandy Berman SOUND SUPERVISOR AND DESIGNER MPSE Board member and active supporter of the sound community, Paul Rodriguez, left this world in September at the age of 65. Over his career, Paul served as the mix facility coordinator for over four dozen projects and held many high-level supportive roles, including VP and Director of Feature Sales at Todd-AO/Soundelux, Senior VP of Wilshire Stages, Director of Sound Services at 4MC, and President of EFX Systems. Rodriguez was President of South Lake Audio Services and VP Audio Services and Development at its sister company, Roundabout Entertainment, when he passed. An active member of MPSE, including serving eight years as its Treasurer, Paul had a passion for the sound community. MPSE President Tom McCarthy reflected on Paul: " Paul was an ambassador to the art of sound throughout all aspects of entertainment worldwide. He played an integral role within the Board of the MPSE for many years. The success of our organization was supported by his continued efforts to recognize the importance of sound to filmmakers and the studios. " CAS President Mark Ulano remembered Paul: " Paul Rodriguez's energy, mentoring, and enthusiasm will be sorely missed as he was always there as a go-to guy. His capacity for collaboration and generosity seemed boundless. We at the Cinema Audio Society send our heartfelt condolences to his family and the larger community to which he has so effectively participated as a creative force and a leader. He will be greatly missed. "
