Guillermo del Toro with Pinocchio Netflix live-action feature Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth, adapts the Mary Shelley classic to the screen with expected del Toro creativity. Across his films, del Toro's commitment to craft extends to his collaborations with sound designers and mixers. Whether the delicate creak of wooden marionettes in Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio or the colossal roar of Kaiju in Pacific Rim, del Toro consistently demonstrates how sound can be a narrative force. These collaborations have resulted in recognition from the sound community at large with BAFTA, CAS Award, Emmy, and Golden Reel award wins in sound-related categories. Del Toro joins an esteemed group of past CAS Filmmaker honorees, including Denis Villeneuve, J.J. Abrams, George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, Joe Wright, Jon Favreau, Taylor Hackford, Jonathan Demme, Richard Donner, Rob Marshall, Edward Zwick, and Quentin Tarantino. This evening, the CAS is excited to celebrate del Toro's work and collaboration with the craft of sound.
