4 F A L L 2 0 1 6 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y Dear Friends, We've been very busy as the season is upon us. The Mix "Sound for Film" event, co-sponsored by CAS and MPSE, was a roaring success with great atten- dance and widely praised content. Of special note was the SRO CAS Panel: Workflow for Musicals in Film and Television Production. Noted production mixer Glen Trew moderated a terrific panel of pro- duction and post production notables and explored, in depth, a very fluid and essential aspect of Cinema Audio. We've received many requests for a part two, ASAP. Another very popular CAS contribution to the Mix magazine event was the Production Sound Pavilion, held on the legendary Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage at Sony Studios. The walking tour of many production sound carts demonstrating SOA approach by working practitioners brought hoards of curious post pro- duction folks closer to their production comrades' tools and techniques. Right on the heels of the "Sound for Film" event, CAS and MPSE partnered again for the 8th Annual Golf and Poker Tournament—also very well-attended. Brunch, fun, and frolic were had on the links and at the card tables. This event concluded with a lovely dinner, honoring the retiring Executive Director of the Motion Picture Editors Guild, Ron Kutak. We're very excited as we prepare for our next awards show, with John Pritchett named as our Career Achievement Award recipient and Jon Favreau to receive the Filmmaker Award. We've added two new catego- ries to this year's event as well: Motion Picture – Documentary and Outstanding Product awards. These reflect the popular requests from our membership and, we believe, areas well worthy of recognition. On the horizon, expansion of our classic sound film screening series, educational panels, and facility tours, so please stay tuned … Warm regards, Mark Ulano CAS President THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER To educate and inform the general public and the motion picture and television industry that effective sound is achieved by a creative, artistic and technical blending of diverse sound elements.
