On the eve of The Stringer's launch worldwide on Netflix, I would like to give credit where credit is due! (as far as the post production aspect of the film is concerned!)
Firstly, much gratitude to
@baomnguyen @fiona_e_turner @terri_lichstein @gary_knight_vii @viifoundation Lê Vân (@ ?)
@xrmmedia @mshturley & Grace / LinLay (and the other stakeholders), whose vision, talent, courage + tenacious spirit made the dream a reality. It's been an honour + privilege to share the journey with you all.
but post production is where films really come to life ;) so:
first unsung hero is
@ava.romero who kept me on the straight + narrow throughout as my AE, 2IC, as well as AP, researcher, shoulder to cry on + barista.
huge thanks to Shilpi
@guptagirl on 2nd editor duties who really helped shape the film and Alice
@alicepow23 who played a crucial role when it really counted!
major shout outs
@___tim__________ who did an amazing job on sound design + SSE keeping things classy, alongside Raoul Brand (raoulbrand.com) on the sublime mix + the rest of the audio team (esp
@bleatpost ).
big thanks to Gene Beck (genebeckmusic.com) whose score set the tone early on which really helped steer us + the end result is just perfect.
Special commendations to
@tam_thumb_again and his whole team esp. Alex + Mikey
@sodalite_color who absolutely smashed the grade + visuals. Flabbergasted at the skills on display.
VFX and GFX don chris chalklen (chrischalklen.com) went so far above + beyond he is probably still in orbit.
Last up but always first on the teamsheet
@comans @flyingfoxtv whose magic touch as post supervisor was the light that led the path forwards.
special shouts to
@moving_air @ray.lavers @immattscott_dop amongst many others (esp
@jennitrangle ) who created something so special.
huge appreciation to
@sundanceorg +
@netflix +
@netflixgolden 's backing of a truly independent production, which is heartening to see in these times. Long may that continue.
but final credit MUST of course go to Nguyen Thành Nghe, Carl Robinson + families, whose humility + courage are truly inspirational.
