It was a great night for 32 SOUNDS at the Cinema Eye awards in NYC recently! JD Samson won for Best Score, Mark Mangini won for Best Sound Design, and 32 SOUNDS won the top award for Best Documentary. Deadline called our sweep, a “shocker,” which was either slightly offensive or just funny, and since we won, it was easy to take the high road and go with the latter. In any event, it was great to celebrate with the whole team: JD, Nels Bangerter, Yoni Brook, Josh Penn, Nora Wilkinson, and myself. Onwards!
