Mix-5 has more than enough to laugh about with Will & Grace back for Season 2 of its reboot, and Last Man Standing back for Season 1 of its reboot. With all this rebooting going on, mixers Peter Nusbaum CAS and Whitney Purple will be busy but they still found time to wel- come The Cool Kids in for Season 1 and welcome back Black-ish and Grown-ish for another successful season. After a brief writing hiatus, Devendra Cleary CAS, Tanya Peel, and Abel Schiro are back at it for the second half of Season 1 of Mayans MC. Thanks to Josh Bower for powering with them on the boom for the first half of the season. Also, thanks goes to Devin Golub CAS for filling in for Devendra and contribut- ing on our second units. In late August, we will head to a spinoff of The Goldbergs entitled Schooled, over at Sony. Feeling blessed to have a busy summer of work, as well as a summer of trips to Kelowna, BC, and then Eagle, Colorado, where we will celebrate with Phillip Palmer CAS and Jen Lizuka for their wedding! Mazel Tov! Brendan Beebe CAS started the year looking back at the '80s while finishing the second season of GLOW for Netflix and the Fox 21/Hulu pilot Less Than Zero with Rebecca Chan, Derrick Cloud, and Peter Olsted as his MVPs on set. His current assignment is Ryan Murphy's 9-1-1 Season 2 for FOX Television.

April was spent at Nifco for the the feature An Audience of Chairs, then back to Montreal for more HBO and MGM's The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair. Robert Sharman CAS is very thankful to have been busy since his return from the UK. He did some reshoots for The Nun and finished up The Children (thanks, Julian Howarth), both for New Line. He also worked a few days of madness on Westworld (thanks, Geoff & Roger). He had a few OA days for John Bauman and just finished Season 2 of the very great Starz show Counterpart, with my crew from Season 1: boom ops Dennis Fuller and Josh Mantlo. 2nd units were kindly being covered by Kenny Mantlo. Currently, he and his team are on Apple's first narrative project, Are You Sleeping. Joe Earle CAS and Doug Andham CAS are currently finishing Season 2 of Snowfall and Season 1 of Pose for the FX Network. The summer will also include Season 3 of Insecure for HBO and Season 8 of American Horror Story. After last year's amazing Avengers: Infinity War, John Pritchett CAS and crew, the ever-present Dave Roberts on boom and the first timer to the team, NOLA utility Jamey Osborne, went to Louisiana to do another John Lee Hancock picture called the Highwaymen. It is a new story about the capture and deaths of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde. This time centering on the two Texas Rangers who did it. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson star. John and Dave, along with Tyler Blythe will gather later this year to com- plete Avengers 4. CAS Associate Rob Disner has been stay- ing busy mixing for television and cor- porate jobs in Atlanta. He started the year off on an extended pilot for a new home improvement show with the work- ing title of Sunshine by Design. After that, he picked up some days on the NBC show Caffeine and Octane, as well as covering a press conference for the PGA's Masters Tournament, and mixing the short film Angels in Rocket Field. He also continues to work as an A1 for Turner Classic Movies, recording monthly hosted intros with Ben Mankiewicz and others. Philip Perkins CAS completed mixes for Norman Mineta (PBS) and for the restora- tion of the 1991 feature film Thousand Pieces of Gold. He also mixed the music doc Le Corps Sonore (PBS).

Then he will be returning to mix Season 4 of The CW's musical comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend with Aaron Grice on the stix and Kelley Ambrow making cable spaghetti with marinara. He and his team are proud to announce Jeff "Z" Zimmerman will be playing with us on occasion, sharing his playback expertise and shuffling the Pro Tools stems. Besides the commercial field with vari- ous companies, James Ridgley CAS was lucky to get two features. The first, Magic Lantern, with insane and hugely creative and sincere, director Amir Naderi, writer on 99 Homes, and the recent Fahrenheit 451. And the sec- ond, Into the Forest, with a director with whom I have done several other proj- ects. Cyrus Wymer will be on boom for both. I also did the Los Angeles por- tion of End of Sentence with admirable actor John Hawkes. Chris Durfy CAS and team have been hard at work for seven months on the Netflix prequel/reboot of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. They have three months left to go, with some of the biggest scenes to date upcoming! Who knew a puppet show would end up being the most complex show of their career to date? Chris gives thanks for his team: Comm mixer Rob Piller, 1AS Michael Sinden, 2AS Joseph Gidley, additional 1AS Howard Peryer and second unit mixer Simon Bishop. Also, thanks to Richard Meridith of Audio Dept. (UK)!
