Pre-production sound consulting
to prevent disruptive & costly sound problems.

Hire Mark Ulano and Patrushkha Mierzwa to consult — and reduce the risk of a sound issue delaying shooting, disrupting actors, and having to be fixed in post

 

 Great sound creates an immersive experience.
Poor sound takes viewers out of the story. 

We’re no strangers to the frustration on set when a preventable sound issue suddenly arises. 

At best, sound problems delay everything, creating stress and tension on set. At worst? Sound problems disrupt performances, take the viewers out of the story, and drag down the quality of the film. 

Yes, fixing sound in post works as a tool. But there’s no comparison to capturing dialogue as the actors deliver it in the moment of their performance: Raw, clear, and intimate.

When we consult during pre-production, we can help you avoid worst-case scenarios and pave the way to capturing truly great, award-winning sound. 

Why invest in sound consulting?

Meet Patrushkha Mierzwa & Mark Ulano

Over the past 40 years, we’ve worked behind the scenes in the sound department, as a Boom Operator (Patrushkha) and a Production Sound Mixer (Mark).

We’ve been fortunate to have worked on many important films, alongside well-respected directors — including Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, James Gray, Jon Favreau, Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Rodriguez, Jay Roach, JJ Abrams, Adam McKay, Sylvester Stallone, Stephen Frears, and Robert Altman, Frank Darabont and Paul Haggis.

Now we’re bringing our expertise to the next generation of filmmakers and sound professionals through speaking, mentorship, and consulting for budgets big and small.

 Is your budget $ instead of $$$$?

We work with budgets big and small. 

Your cheapest, most productive dollars are spent in pre-production —

when you don’t have a cast and crew on the clock.
