Academy Award®-winning writer and director Emerald Fennell joins us to discuss her latest dark comedy thriller, “Saltburn.” The film features an unflinchingly disturbing story, incredible performances, and an appropriately cutting-edge sound design, which was being experimented with up until the very end of post-production. “For it to be exciting and vital you need to be experimenting up until the end. You need to be pushing and pushing. This is a very Gothic movie in lots of ways. It’s very stylized… But [if you push] too much, it just becomes kind of overwhelming. The thing [about] working with lots of people who are really brilliant is just give everyone the space to try lots of different things. Because sometimes you just don’t know the perfect thing until you hear it or see it… That’s always how you make stuff that is on the edge of something interesting. You have to fall off to know where you can come back and that’s why it’s such a fun, exciting process. And it kind of has to be right until the last second.” —Emerald Fennell, writer/director/producer, “Saltburn” Joining the conversation with Fennell are supervising sound editors Nina Hartstone and Eilam Hoffman, production sound mixer Nina Rice, and re-recording mixers Adam Scrivener and Jasper Thorn.
