The Cinema Audio Society was founded by a group of sound mixers who believed that as a creative community they needed to not only acknowledge the work they did but also educate others in the role of sound in film and television. With such a rich and diverse history, we hope to archive that history by creating featured recordings with our membership. We will look at the stellar sound contributions to the many outstanding films and television projects that have been seen, and more importantly, heard around the globe.
