The Sound of Hacksaw Ridge

Kevin O’Connell (Best Sound Mixing), celebrating his 21st Academy Award nomination, joins first-time nominees Robert Mackenzie and Andy Wright (double nominees for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing) in conversation about their work on Mel Gibson’s film. The artists talk about using sound design and music to sculpt the three different battle sequences which comprise the film’s second half, the challenges of using period accurate weaponry, and how the sound of breathing can take you inside the main character’s experience.
