Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) The Director's Edition Screening and Annual Membership Mixer On December 3, the Cinema Audio Society, with generous support from Dolby, showed the Director's Cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), which is newly remastered in 4K and Dolby Atmos at the Dolby Hollywood Vine Screening Room. The screening began with an introduction from producer David C. Fein, post-production supervisor/associate producer Mike Matessino, and re-recording mixer Michael Babcock CAS . This version of the iconic classic's restoration was unique in almost every way, including going back to the original ADR and scoring tracks. In the Fall 2023 edition of the CAS Quarterly, you will be able to explore a fascinating in-depth interview with these key players. You won't be disappointed; make sure to check it out. The Annual Membership Mixer followed immediately after the screening as attendees marched across the street to Wood and Vine to eat, drink, and be merry. The party was lovely, featuring giveaways from our CAS Mixer Merch Store and introductions from attending committee chairs. It was a truly rare and precious evening of fellowship. https://shop.cinemaaudiosociety.org/ On November 6, 2022, the Motion Picture Television Fund held its annual "Day at the Ranch" at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. The day was very well attended, featuring raffle prizes, a buffet lunch, and many sponsored activities, including an obstacle course sponsored by the Cinema Audio Society. The CAS is proud to continue supporting the MPTF and its essential work. As the event slogan describes, it was "a great time for a great cause." MPTF helps industry workers in times of need, including financial assistance, subsidized childcare, and caring for aging parents. Recently, the president of MPTF released a letter calling for donations as the almost 100-year charitable organization seeks to recover from severe shortcomings in funding and the financial impact of COVID.

Fein, post-production supervisor/associate producer Mike Matessino, and CAS President Karol Urban On December 8, a panel of experts presented on behalf of Cinema Audio Society at the final 2022 Los Angeles Post Production Group meeting. The virtual event explored the various workflows, social dynamics, and project implications related to mixing alone in a post-audio environment or as part of a mix team on a dub stage. Moderated by CAS President Karol Urban, the panel consisted of re-recording mixers Bob Bronow CAS MPSE (Cruel Summer and Deadliest Catch), Shaun Cunningham CAS (Family Guy and American Dad), Jonathan Wales CAS (Get Out and The Black Phone), and Mathew Waters CAS (Game of Thrones and Only Murders in the Building). With nearly 10 Emmys, 10 CAS Awards, and multiple Golden Reel Awards, this veteran group of mixers shed light on negotiating projects, dividing duties, and navigating dynamics. The panel ended by opening the floor to questions from viewers.
