Welcome to the (almost) fall edition of our magazine.
This edition comes at the conclusion of the IATSE’s Basic and Videotape Supplemental Negotiations with the AMPTP and has been tremendously challenging to produce during this busy time. We’d like to thank our partners at IngleDodd Media and our various contributors for their patience throughout this process. Our partnerships are what have always made this publication a success, but that has never been more true than with this edition.
But that doesn’t mean that we don’t have just as much content for you to enjoy! We spotlight William B. Kaplan in “My Path in Sound.” Devendra Cleary, Beau Baker, and Juan Cisneros take us behind the scenes of the Sound Departments of Twisters, Grey’s Anatomy, and Station 19. Then Josh Levy shares his story at the bargaining table with the AMPTP in “My Last Monday.” Ryan Pedersen shares some insights about the mental health of the filmmaking community during the recent work shortages.
There’s a lot to enjoy in this one and we hope you do.
In Solidarity,
James Delhauer & Richard Lightstone
Production Sound & Video Co-editors.
