“Film is sound and picture. But for me, sound is at least 50 percent, sometimes more.”

David Lynch, director of Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, known for his surreal audiovisual style.

As a sound editor for film, I’ve always believed that the most powerful moments aren’t always seen — they’re felt.

Across decades, I’ve learned to listen between the lines, finding the rhythm of silence and the music of emotion.

That’s where stories come alive.
