"We are deeply honored to receive the AMPS Film Sound Award,” states Johnnie Burn. “This accolade is a testament to the hard work, creativity and dedication that we, along with our incredible team of Brendan Feeney, Simon Carroll, Max Behrens, and everyone at Wave Studios, pour into every project. I feel so grateful to work with Jonathan Glazer on such extraordinary projects. It truly is beyond a privilege to see our commitment to pushing the boundaries of sound in cinema being recognized by my peers."
"Collaborating with Jonathan Glazer, and Johnnie, was an enriching experience,” adds Tarn Willers. “The work was incredibly challenging but thoroughly rewarding. This award not only celebrates our partnership but also the dedication and craft of my team of Mateusz Stasiak, Jimi Ogden and Filip Sulima and underscores the importance of sound in storytelling. We're grateful to AMPS for this recognition and feel particularly honored to receive such recognition from our peers."
