6 FA L L 2 0 2 2 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y Dear Members, I hope you are all enjoying summer with family and friends and are prepping for an exciting and busy fall. It warms my heart to see BBQs happening again and hear of members taking vacations and reuniting in-person to share ideas and stories. Here at the CAS, we are busy planning activities to reunite members and strengthen fellowship as well as creating special member benefits for you to enjoy. To promote sound for picture and unify the crafts, we have been expanding our partnerships and participation with other industry organizations such as Los Angeles Post Production Group, Digital Cinema Society, CineGear, Filmmaker Academy, PGA, and others. Last month, we presented in partnership with the Motion Picture Sound Editors at the Producers Guild of America's Produced By Conference, a presentation entitled "Sounds Like Success," featuring production mixer Amanda Beggs CAS (Ladybird, Skyfall), supervising sound editor Brent Findley MPSE (Ted Lasso), music editor Curt Sobel MPSE (Ray, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), and re-recording mixer Michael Minkler CAS (Black Hawk Down, Chicago). We also provided a booth at this year's CineGear Expo from June 9-12 at the L.A. Convention Center and appeared at the Hollywood Sound Expo on Saturday, July 23, at EVS Studios in Glendale, CA. It was great seeing all who came out. We recently produced a CAS Sound Symposium Virtual Event, featuring CAS Associate Nuno Fonseca PhD, who broke down the formats and flavors of 3D audio. A video recording of this event, "All You Need to Know About 3D Audio," is available in the Events section of our webpage. Additionally, we are planning a Summer Screening Series. Keep your eyes on your emails for your exclusive member invitations. Learn about this year's 58th CAS Award winners and how they created the sound of this year's most compelling narratives in exclusive interviews available on the Cinema Audio Society YouTube channel.

In this issue of CAS Quarterly, we feature an article entitled "Listening to Ukraine" investigating the Ukrainian film market and how sound artists are surviving in their current reality. All donations to Safe&Sound Ukraine go to United Help Ukraine, a 501c3 charity.
