Final Sound Mix
”I am Grass” by Abhi Indrekar
I was asked by the director to finalize the sound mix for this 2024 “Sundance Film Festival” submission. It is a short autobiographical documentary and visual essay which looks at the parallels between the discrimination he experienced in India, and the BLM protests he encountered after arriving in the United States. It is a powerful meditation on deep truths, perseverance, and the determination to overcome.

Video Wall Installation
Crapo-Hathaway Funeral Home, Taunton, MA
We rigged four 55" flatscreen televisions into a seamless, 4K, wall mounted video backdrop to provide looped thematic ambiance to gatherings at the funeral home. The system is fed from a Blackmagic Design HyperDeck player, which provides solid state playback from long distances if necessary. The client asked for a grouping of military backgrounds as well as a series of outdoor videos with seamless loopback and replay. The system is easily updated with new themes and looks as needed.
Cinematography and Sound
Day Zero – Providence 48hr Film Festival Submission
Written, directed and edited by Jill Poisson; BT Hathaway of Waveland Productions worked as a Producer and Cinematographer for the film. He used Blackmagic URSA and BMPCC 6K Pro cameras and shot the entirety in BRAW with delivery on site. As with any weekend film festival we had to work quickly and adapt on the fly to the shooting environment, the shifting sunlight outside, and meeting the needs of a script no one had seen until that day. The film can be seen at the following link: https://vimeo.com/740665578
