Continuing SDFF’s conversation on documentary sound, award-winning sound designer and composer William Storkson sits down with SDFF co-Director Jane Winslow to discuss sound as a character in films. Using sound, diegetic and non, to convey emotional context can help drive and shape a story as well as establish tone and characters within the narrative. William will be sharing examples from recent projects to illustrate his concepts.

For more than 21 years, William Storkson has been performing, composing, recording and engineering music, and sound design for a variety of media. In 1999, he founded AudioSFX after leaving Lucasfilm THX to create the ultimate one-stop shop for post production sound. As a composer and sound designer, Storkson approaches sound creation with a hybrid approach whether for flash animations or feature films, looking for that unique and vibrant sound design to each and every project.
