48 FA L L 2 0 2 1 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y From John Pritchett CAS: I can now say that I have nally "Been there—I'm done with that." After completing only a couple of months on this newest Scorsese picture, I'm bidding farewell to the business I have loved so much. I have nothing but gratitude to the industry as a whole and to so many people individually. Too many to name here, but suf ce to say, in the thousands of amazing crew people and hundreds of astonishing actors and dozens of gifted directors and producers. I will miss you all. I can't, at my age, say I will ever miss the grind. The mud. The wind. The rain. The cold and the heat. But I will miss the people. Thanks for the memories. From Mark Ulano CAS AMPS: We are in Oklahoma working on Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio. Our team consists of the wonderful Douglas Shamburger, the amazing Nick Ronzio, the steely Brandon Loulias, and Gary Raymond on music playback. It's a fantastic true tale of an epic murders/ tragedy c. 1921. Frank Morrone CAS and Rob Carr CAS are mixing The Hot Zone: Anthrax, On My Block, Legacies, and Roswell, New Mexico on Formosa Stage 4 on the Paramount lot. Karol Urban CAS MPSE and Kurt Kassulke CAS completed mixing Season 18 of Grey's Anatomy for ABC and Gentefied Season 2 for Net ix. We are now midway through mixing Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. for Disney +. Matthew Nicolay CAS began the post pandemic hiatus with a trip to the Dominican Republic for director M. Night Shyamalan's Old with the amazing Kate Jesse on boom. Next up, They Cloned Tyrone and Day Shift for Net ix. From James Ridgley CAS: Finally got work coming in. Did three days on promos for the new Walking Dead game, along with other commercials and a short lm called American Dream with Alfred Molina. Thanks to Frank Galvin for running the stick—as they might say. Also, I worked on a feature lm, but their COVID protocol—or lack of paying us for the 3x weekly tests— was too much and I chose to replace myself. From Gavin Fernandes CAS: It's a summer of juggling for me. Still (when will the VFX end??) mixing Blood & Treasure for CBS at Premium in Montreal, temp mixing 8-Bit Christmas for Newline at Company3 in Toronto, and mixing Escouade 99 (Quebec reshoot of Brooklyn Nine-Nine) at home. Oh yeah, and I discovered orange wine. Be well y'all. Jay Patterson CAS, along with Rob Scott and Kris Manning, are working on Masha's Game. From Scott Harber CAS: Spent a fantastic and memorable day in February over Zoom watching the NASA Perseverance Mars Rover landing with my (now) late stepfather Bill Shiba, who was a chief engineer on the Atlas rocket program in San Diego, and my son Miles, currently a mechanical engineer at JPL. It was Miles' rst launch and landing experience, and Bill had memories and advice to share. Such a full circle of life, and lots of admiration being bookended by two aerospace hot shots! [See photo in "The Lighter Side" section.] From Devendra Cleary CAS: I've been enjoying a busy summer on the limited series for Universal and Strarz called Gaslit. I'm lucky to have an amazing team with Chris "Cat sh" Walmer, Kelly Lewis, and Chloe Patenaude. Our day players who have joined us so far are Sheraton Toyota, Julianna Cruz, and Ricki Patenaude. From Devin Golub CAS: It's been a ne spring and summer. It was bittersweet to mix the nal season of American Housewife, then it was off to mix the very funny The Gordita Chronicles pilot for HBO Max. That was followed by jumping in to nish the last three episodes of the Showtime drama The L Word: Generation Q. Thank you, Sean O'Malley. Now, after some cart upgrades and much-needed time off, I look forward to seeing what the next adventure brings. Geoffrey Patterson CAS is doing the Untitled Laker Project for HBO. From Mathew Price CAS: My team and I just wrapped Season 4 of the ever-expanding The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and we are very happy to hear we'll be going back for Season 5 in January! After all of the live music we were tasked with in S3, I didn't think it B E E N T H E R E D O N E T H AT
