Description

The 2022 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner was the first ever horror film to win the top award at the film festival. But before that, "Nanny" — the feature film debut from Nikyatu Jusu — was also the recipient of the 2022 Dolby Institute Fellowship, which awards a low-budget Sundance film with a post-production grant to finish the film in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Now that "Nanny" is available to stream on Prime Video, we recently sat down with writer-director Nikyatu Jusu, supervising sound editor Dave Flynch, and Academy Award winning re-recording mixer Skip Lievsay to discuss the film’s rich soundtrack. This episode was recorded during a live post-screening Q&A for the Artist Academy — Film at Lincoln Center’s program for young filmmakers — and was moderated by our executive producer Amanda Schneider.“We talked a lot about character arc for the soundscape… There is a tendency to neglect sound in the conception stage. And if you think about your soundscape as a character, then you can have an arc for that soundscape so that the audience doesn't become numb, with a relentless soundscape that is not ebbing and flowing.”— Nikyatu Jusu, Writer and Director, "Nanny"Be sure to check out "Nanny" on Prime Video.Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.
