50 CINEMONTAGE / Q3 2019 joined the Guild in 1998. As supervising sound editor on ABC's two-part Anne Frank: The Whole Story (2001), he was nominated with the show's sound crew for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Miniseries, Movie or Special. The lead supervising sound editor on Anne Frank was John Benson, MPSE, whom Bost considers his mentor. "John really took me under his wing and taught me everything," the sound editor notes. He credits the sound man with instilling in him the importance of organization, underscored by the veteran's motto: "If you're not 15 minutes early, you're late." Working with Todd-AO consistently as a supervising sound editor, Bost built up numerous credits on both TV movies and series, including JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves' Felicity (2000-2002) on Warner Bros. TV and the CBS police comedy/drama The District (2003-2004). Soon after, moving on to Westwind Media, he began his long relationship with Veronica Mars. While still at Westwind, he also was supervising sound editor on showrunner Shonda Rhimes' Private Practice (2007-2013), a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy (2005-present), as well as both seasons of Mars creator Thomas' comedy Party Down (2009-2010). Coming to Technicolor Sound Services, Bost began work on writer/creator Kevin Williamson's The Following (2013-2015) on Fox, with Kevin Bacon as an FBI agent tracking a cult of serial killers. As with Mars, he was supervising sound editor on all but one episode. Apart from steady employment, the sound man is grateful to Technicolor Sound for supporting the creation of a show of his own. "I was able to make The New 30 only because of Technicolor support,." he acknowledges. "Doug Kent [then executive vice president of Technicolor Sound Services] and Mark Kaplan [VP of Sales] were a big help in allowing me to use their services to post the show." Produced in 2017 and released on YouTube in March 2018, The New 30 is a six-episode web series, with each episode about 10 minutes long. The New 30. Nearlife Productions Grand Hotel. ABC
