CAS Associate Sam Casas has been working as a re- recording mixer and sound designer at Lime Studios in Santa Monica since 2003. He has found a successful niche mixing TV commercials for global and national brands such as Adidas, Visa, QuickBooks, and Postmates, to name a few.

Joining MPEG in 2017, and then MPSE and CAS in 2018 as an Associate member, Sam has a passion for acquiring and sharing knowledge. With a love of film and episodic television, the CAS has been a great inspiration in his goal to bring a cinematic approach to all his work. Connecting with other members while writing articles for the CAS Quarterly has been especially educational and rewarding. Sam has a fully equipped and treated 5.1 studio at his home in Studio City, CA, which he has been able to make his primary workplace since the start of the pandemic in 2020. In his spare time, he enjoys reading books about acoustics, thinking about maybe starting to exercise again, and spending time with his wife Elise and son Sebastian.

Anna Wilborn CAS is a Southern California native, USC graduate, and certified set-brat having grown up watching her dad roll sound on his trusty Nagra. She began her career in post-production sound, joining the Editors Guild in 1998 and worked on features and television at Sony and Warner Bros. But in 2005, the production bug bit hard. She ran to the old familiarity of the film set and never looked back. Twenty-six years later, she is now a proud new member of the Cinema Audio Society. Spare time shenanigans include a growing guitar collection, raising her two daughters, and last-minute road trips. Oh, and showing her dad all the crazy new sound gadgets and watching him shake his head. Keith Hodne CAS began his career DJ'ing some of New York City's most iconic nightclubs.
