Basically, this is about moving sound from the caboose of the train to the engine.
We will discuss and provide examples of ways to break new creative ground in film/video storytelling by thinking deeply during pre-production and production about characters’ evolving perception of sound, as well as the story’s evolving perception of sound, then modifying every other craft to accommodate those insights.
Randy will be joined by the writer and director Manfred Lopez Grem, with whom he is collaborating on the screenplay for Helltown.

MANFRED LOPEZ GREM
Manfred Lopez Grem is a Mexican-American writer and director. In 2005, he founded a non-profit foundation dedicated to film production in partnership with the government of Michoacan, Mexico. Through the foundation, he produced, wrote and directed over 200 works. In 2018, due to threats from a cartel, the foundation was forced to shut down, prompting Lopez Grem to flee the country. He relocated to the United States, where he shifted his focus to screenwriting. Since then, he’s joined the WGA and secured multiple writing deals, including a seven-figure one. According to Scott Myers, that deal was one of only 26 Hollywood spec deals of 2021.Â
