18 I M PS E . O R G In a near-capacity theater, the lights dim and the room fills with the sound of rain invoking the image of rain falling in a tropical forest and as if to let you know that the blank screen was not an error (a room full of producers), a quote from Jon Favreau fades in, "Sound is an invisible art, by definition; you can't see it. So oftentimes, people undervalue it." If you did not know what was coming, you very quickly learned when the iconic roar of the Jurassic Park T-Rex enveloped the theater. Then more sound, recreating images in our minds, of fast cars from Ford vs Ferrari to the chilling line from Apollo 13 to the first flight of the suit from Iron Man. All with quotes from producers.
