Skywalker Creates Soundscape for Spielberg's The Fablemans

Director Steven Spielberg, known for sci-fi epics like E.T. and Jurassic Park, and historical dramas such as Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan, has taken an autobiographical turn with The Fabelmans. Co-written with playwright and frequent collaborator Tony Kushner, The Fabelmans is an intimate portrait of the director’s turbulent early years, years he spent developing his craft as a filmmaker. When it came to painting the film’s sound, Spielberg once again called on Gary Rydstrom from Skywalker Sound, who had the dual role of supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer on the movie. Fellow supervising sound editor Brian Chumney, also from Skywalker, and re-recording mixer Andy Nelson rounded out the post sound team.
