## Resource

“Tuner” is a rare film where sound is not only essential to the cinematic experience — it is central to the story itself. Today we welcome back Academy Award®-winning sound designer, supervising sound editor, and re-recording mixer Johnnie Burn, joined by the film’s star Leo Woodall, to discuss how they brought audiences inside the world of Niki, a piano tuner with hyperacusis whose acute hearing makes him an expert safe cracker. Together, they explore how sound shapes the film’s tension, romance, and point of view, from delicate safe-cracking rhythms and subjective hearing shifts to put the audience directly inside Niki’s head. “You should see it in a movie theater because it really is a film where the experience of a movie theater can take you so much closer to the feeling of what the main character actually has. So it's quite a one-off opportunity in that.” —Johnnie Burn, Sound Designer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Re-Recording Mixer, “Tuner” Be sure to check out “Tuner,” now playing in theaters, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos® where available .
