Note of Defiance

Note of Defiance, a short doc that I'm very proud of, is now available on YouTube.

A story about artists persevering during the early months of the Russian invasion, everybody involved in this project put their hearts and souls into it.

For my part as sound designer, I felt immense pressure to stay true to places and situations I had no firsthand experience with. So I did as much research as I could, and we even found a Ukrainian sound recordist, Xenia Vinogradovia, to capture the sounds of wartime Kharkiv for us. Those recordings were invaluable, and are all over the final mix of this film.

Please give it a watch, as it has sadly lost none of its relevance since its release in 2023.
