In my last article, I interviewed post-production
mixers who also teach. For this issue, I
interviewed four production mixers and have
included my own comments as well. Former
CAS Board member James Coburn CAS has
more than 25 years of experience in production
sound, taught at The Los Angeles Film School,
and now teaches at the New York Film
Academy in Burbank. Tod Maitland CAS is a
four-time Oscar nominee (his most recent for
Joker) and a four-time CAS Award nominee and
teaches at NYU. CAS Career Award recipient
Chris Newman CAS won Oscars for
The
Exorcist,
Amadeus, and The English Patient, has
12 nominations, and currently teaches at the
School of Visual Arts. Former CAS President
and CAS Career Award recipient Mark Ulano
CAS won an Oscar for
Titanic and has three
nominations. He has taught full weeklong
workshops in Maine at what is now called
The Maine Media Workshops and has guest
lectured all over the world. I taught at USC for
15 years and have been teaching at CU Denver
for 13 years. [Note: These interviews were
conducted during the spring semester of 2021.]
