From Gavin Fernandes CAS: It has been—and still is—a busy season with several features: Fire of Love (Feature Doc, Sundance 2022), Tempete, Salvation, & Arlette. Unfortunately, all the success has been dulled by the loss of our longtime collaborator, client, and mostly friend, Jean-Marc Vallée, with whom we had done several features and three HBO series. He was a true artist. He always pushed us to explore with him, though mostly it felt like we were just trying to keep up. Jean-Marc, thank you for your talent, your patience, your generosity, and your friendship. We will miss you dearly. God bless and health and happiness to you all in 2022! From Coleman Metts CAS: We have been healthy and I hope all of you have been healthy and safe and had a wonderful holiday. I just wrapped Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with Dave Wallace on boom, Josh Bissett as utility, and David Cook handling Pro Tools and frame-rate conversions. 48 filming days in Los Angeles! Now I'm back to work for Marvel on more projects. I hope everyone has a wonderful 2022! Karol Urban CAS MPSE and John "Milo" Train just completed dubbing Season 6 of Outlander.

B E E N T H E R E D O N E T H AT From Marlowe Taylor CAS: Well, I can truly say I've survived an entire year of AMC fighting off the zombie apocalypse from The Walking Dead: World Beyond S2 to Fear the Walking Dead S7—and with COVID on top. I had the honor of presenting for the 57th Annual CAS Awards, yeah! Guess I've truly "been there and survived that!" 2022 work starts with the film Fast Charlie, starring Pierce Brosnan, then a film story of the life of Lebron James titled Shooting Stars, and AMC's Fear the Walking Dead S8. Like I always say, "Remember to press record everybody!" LOL. Good luck and Happy New Year! Let's roll sound! Happy New Year! Devin Golub CAS ended a busy 2021 mixing the FOX comedy Pivoting, and then quickly jumping over to mix Season 1 of the Apple TV family drama Carpe, which wraps in February. A huge thank you to my crew on both shows; Kevin Santy, Will Schulz, William Munroe, and Rachel Schroeder. I look forward to the new year and next adventure.

While we mainly shoot in Los Angeles, we've got almost three weeks ahead of us in Palm Springs. Let's hope Omicron doesn't derail us!
