Why sound design matters more in indie films than big ones Most indie films don’t fail visually. They fail sonically.
Limited coverage, noisy locations, rushed shoots -- sound ends up carrying more storytelling weight than the camera ever can.
My job on indie features is rarely about “adding cool sounds.” It’s about control, restraint, and knowing when silence does more work than design.
That mindset has shaped every feature film I’ve worked on remotely over the last few years.
