74 S U M M E R 2 0 2 5 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y B E E N T H E R E D O N E T H AT From Dane Cody CAS: I recently wrapped working on The Anaconda, starring Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Thandiwe Newton, and Steve Zahn with Tom Gormican directing. Before that, I completed Balls Up—a feature from Pete Farrelly, starring Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser. More recently, I've been doing some TVC work and pickups for a feature that someone else mixed, and then I'll be onto two Netflix films back-to-back to take me to Halloween. Philip Perkins CAS mixed The Dreamers and I and made a new broadcast mix for Post Atlantic, both feature docs for PBS. Karol Urban CAS MPSE with David Tichauer CAS completed mixes on both Government Cheese for Apple + and The Hunting Wives for Starz. Now Karol is ramping up for work as a supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer for an upcoming romantic comedy feature. Gavin Fernandes CAS is finishing up the Canadian feature Kaboul- Montreal, before starting several months with Netflix for the follow up to One Piece. Sean Byrnes CAS has reteamed with Gunnar Walter and Natasha Fagan for Season 2 of Sugar for Apple +. Fresh off his Golden Globe win for The Penguin, Colin Farrell is again starring and executive producing. It's been a blessing returning to this great show since completing MaXXXine for A24, Bookie Season 2 for WBTV, and a feature film in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hopefully, the tax incentive negotiations in Sacramento will be successful and provide much-needed production in our Los Angeles base. Scott D. Smith CAS and his crew wrapped up Season 4 of the Emmy award-winning TV show The Bear (due to drop on June 15 on Hulu). Boom operators Joe Campbell and Nick Ray Harris navigated the challenges of booming a fast- paced TV show shot on a working kitchen set with stellar assistance from the utility crew of Nicholas Price, Eric LaCour, along with intern Mikey Wilson. With only two months of work mixing Season 2 of BET's Kingdom Business in 2023, Aron Siegel CAS and his team weathered the strike and in December of 2023, booked a project for late March 2024. Unfortunately, a trailer theft of not only the $25,000 trailer itself, but also $350,000 in sound gear on Friday, March 1, in broad daylight out of a local storage lot, presented Aron and company with a huge challenge. Scrambling to build a package and new trailer within 2½ weeks to meet a March 20 start deadline, Aron, boom op Leonardo Nasca, and sound utility Nik Waddell were fully up and running for J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot IMAX production of Flowervale Street with Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, directed by David Robert Mitchell, which is set for a 2026 summer release. Despite several back orders because of the strike, the team managed to capture clean tracks
