Join filmmakers Josh & Benny Safdie for a behind-the-scenes conversation about their new film Uncut Gems. The brothers discuss how they used sound design and music to create the perilous, uncomfortable world of Adam Sandler’s character, Howard Ratner. They are joined by composer Daniel Lopatin, who talks about using the classic 1970s Moog synthesizer to create the movie’s emotional score, and re-recording mixer Skip Lievsay, who talks about how he used Dolby Atmos to give the audience the experience of being in the world of the characters. Recorded in front of a live audience at the New York Film Festival Artist Academy.
