This year has been an amazing one. We have done more business, engaged more sound design community members through our blog, and built a larger team and studio space than even we had dreamed (and we have MASSIVE dreams)! Here's a look back at all that we accomplished in 2016. We could not be more grateful for the opportunity to flourish in this community, and we hope 2017 is filled with even more opportunities to shine.
We completed the post-production sound on 153 episodes of television and serviced 10 different television series, plus countless shorts, pilots, and commercials!
We were nominated for 8 awards and won 2 (denoted with an * below)!
