47th Annual Cinema Audio Society

This evening is the 47th Annual Cinema Audio Society Awards and I am very excited to be a part of it. 


The Cinema Audio Society (CAS) consists of Sound Mixers and Associates from the Film and Television Industries. The Society was founded to create a proper channel of communication between the related sound crafts and between those instrumental to the production and distribution of film and television soundtracks. Throughout the year, the CAS holds seminars and educational meetings, inviting industry professionals, students, and other guests to join in on these discussions. Not only is it a great networking opportunity, but also a chance to learn from others and understand different perspectives within the industry.

I don't think there are really any assumed wins, so this evening should be a good one. Tomorrow, I will post the winners.
