New Horizons in 2018
January, 2018In 2014, a group of 4 film school colleagues and I set up Chime Audio. Through this new venture we'd work closely together on Short Films, Features, Commercials and a variety of other sound work in the ensuing years. It's been an incredibe and rewarding journey, resulting in work that's gone to do very well in festivals, cinemas, TV and the web. We've even won a few awards along the way.
In recent times, new opportunities have emmerged for us all. For the last year I have had the great pleasure of also working closer with fellow Sound Designer Rob Szeliga. Great work has come out from this collaboration, some of which can be seen in the film portfolio. I'm currently working in both Norwich and London and look forward to continuing this amazing journey freelancing in post production sound.
