Don Benjamin (Goya Award Nominated and Academy Award Qualified)

The goal of this project was to create an immersive jungle ambiance and intense fire scenes while ensuring clear dialogue comprehension.

I achieved this by focusing on surround sound mixing, dynamic sound effects, and carefully layering ambient sounds. Additionally, I performed extensive dialogue cleanup and editing to ensure clarity.

As a result, the film qualified for an Academy Award, received a pre-nomination for a Premios Goya, and won the Silver Dragon for Best Short Documentary at the Krakow Film Festival.

Now, the world where he built a home for his family turns to smoke and ashes. Don Benjamín is a raw yet poetic journey through a magical region at risk, the Bolivian Amazon.
