BYD was featured again in Post Magazine's March issue for our work on Tyrannosaurus Sex, which aired in primetime on Discovery Channel. T Sex (as we've been referring to it at the studio) made Entertainment Weekly's "The Must" list at number 3 during the week of March 5. It was produced by our friends at Locomotive Group and was about dinosaur mating and reproduction. We handled all audio-post- composing, sound designing, and mixing. Stuart Kollmorgen gave a deep atmospheric score while Lou Esposito carefully crafted the huge and diverse sounds of the various dinosaurs along with their environments. Ryan Heiferman put the finishing touches on it all in the mix.

We've recently had our hand in a few indie films at the duck. For starters Mystery Team (sound design/mix) which we worked on last year has made its way to theaters nationally and just did a two week run at Quad Cinema in the West Village. Lion's Gate will be releasing the DVD soon.

Trio, written and produced by Jen Bogush and directed by Danny Aiello III has already won a few awards for its screenplay and is now hitting the festival circuit. Lou Esposito worked his magic with sound design, mix, and ADR.

And Snake Fever is a fascinating documentary about rattlesnake hunting directed by Wendy Greene, mixed and sound designed at the Duck by Lou Esposito and Colin Wolf. It just premiered at the Aspen Shorts Fest and will soon be at the Seattle International Film Festival.

Finally, Ryan Heiferman is wrapping up the sound design and mix on Julie Pacino's directorial debut Prodigal, about two lost souls whose lives are intercepted by a mysterious kidnapping. It stars Beth Grant (No Country for Old Men; Donnie Darko), and Ty Simpkins (Revolutionary Road; Pride & Glory).
