6-time Emmy Award winning (Stranger Things, Love Death + Robots) sound designer, supervising sound editor, and re-recording mixer Craig Henighan has worked with director Darren Aronofsky since Requiem for a Dream. And with A24’s 25th anniversary re-release of Pi, Craig discusses the challenges of updating its original soundtrack. The indie film’s razor thin budget only allowed for a four day mix back in 1998, and as a result, Craig had his work cut out for him as he reconstructed and rebuilt the original soundtrack into its stunning new remaster and Dolby Atmos® mix.
Craig also dishes on the collaborative process of working with legendary directors such as Aronofsky and Alfonso Cuarón (Roma), the latter of whom helped earn Craig his first Academy Award nomination.
This discussion took place in front of a live audience at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival.
