Doonby 
Directed by Peter Mackenzie

Film Description:  “Sam Doonby, a mysterious, handsome drifter gets off a Greyhound bus in a small Texas town and finds work at Leroy’s Country/Blues Bar where his great musical talents make him very popular, especially with Laura, the beautiful but spoiled daughter of successful doctor Cyrus Reaper.

“Sam always seems to be in the right place at the right time to avert disasters befalling the town and its people until suspicion and jealousy drive folks to ask who he is and where he comes from. Even Laura starts to question him so now he disappears as quickly as he came and things start to go badly wrong. His rejection results in terrible shocks for the whole town, not least for the doctor and his family as Cyrus’ past comes back to haunt him.” – Christian Film Database

Terry Jastrow‘s dramatic comedy The Squeeze stars  Jeremy Sumpter, Katherine LaNasa, Christopher McDonald and Jason Dohring.

Jastrow shared with us what his new film is about: “A humble young man with uncommon skills from a small rural town gets caught in high stakes golf matches between big-time gamblers until the game becomes life and death. It’s THE STING meets TIN CUP with a dollop of CADDYSHACK.”

On working with Juniper Post: “It was our great pleasure to work with Juniper on our movie THE SQUEEZE. From initial meeting, through ADR, sound effects, walla-walla, various stages of mixing, etc. they were terrific in every way. It’s one thing that Juniper’s management and artists are knowledgeable, experienced, smart, friendly, and polite, and it’s another thing that they are wonderful artists who understand big time movie making and contribute to it greatly with sound production.

“Bottom line is that we are extremely pleased with the product Juniper delivered for THE SQUEEZE. No doubt it’s a better movie because of their contribution. Honestly, I can’t imagine doing another movie without them.” Terry Jastrow, Writer & Director

AMERICA
IN THEATERS NOW

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“A story that imagines that the United States lost the Revolutionary War and therefore never existed.” – IMDb 

America based on the book  America: Imagine a World without Her  by Dinesh D’Souza is now a major motion picture playing in theaters across the nation. “D’Souza has been named one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers by the New York Times Magazine. The World Affairs Council lists him as one of the nation’s 500 leading authorities on international issues, and Newsweek cited him as one of the country’s most prominent Asian-Americans.” –  About Dinesh D’Souza

“Working with Dinesh D’Souza and John Sullivan was a great learning experience. 

“I appreciate the passion and professionalism they devoted to this movie. I can hear it in Dinesh’s voice-over, and I can hear it in the group walla I recorded as the ADR supervisor/mixer. I can see it in the directing,  writing, cinematography, and editing for this project.

“I am proud to be a part of it!” – Gonzalo “Bino” Espinoza, Recording Supervisor

Rush Limbaugh Predicts Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘America’ Will Be ‘Huge’
“In a rare move for the No. 1 talk-radio host, he begs his audience to see the movie, which he compares to It’s a Wonderful Life.”
Jul 1 – The Hollywood Reporter

Director: R. Ellis Frazier
Stars: Gary Daniels, Vannessa Vasquez, Michael Greco

 

“Hardened DEA agent, Cole, descends into the dangerous underworld of Tijuana, Mexico in search of his journalist ex-wife who he believes has been abducted by a charismatic Cartel boss with aspirations for public office.” – IMDb

“We always have a great experience working with Juniper Post.  Misfire was not an easy task by far, but David and his crew pulled off a miracle.  No matter what the condition the production sound comes in at, his team will find a way to make it work with the utmost efficiency.  Juniper is like family, and mixing sessions are like coming home.  We wouldn’t have it any other way. “ – Justin Nesbitt

Congratulations to the team at Hannibal Pictures and the cast and crew of Misfire on securing both national and international distribution. 

“Hannibal Pictures sold domestic rights to director R. Ellis Frazier’s action film Misfire at the European Film Market in Berlin. Image Entertainment will release the film in the US.  

“Rights have also gone to Spain (Inopia Films),  France (Marco Polo),  Greece and Turkey (Tanweer),  former Yugoslavia (Montenegro Discovery Film & Video),  Hungary (M-RTL Zrt),  Poland (Monolith Films),  Romania (Prorom Media-Trade),  Middle East (Eagle),  Latin America (California Filmes),  Japan (Klockworx) and China and Hong Kong (Star Alliance).” – Misfire Hits the Mark! | Hannibal Pictures

“Background Walla is when a group of people are cast to add background dialogue in various scenes. For example, a scene where people are fighting in a bar, or a group of people walking in the city.  The name “Walla” comes from the fact the group used to say “walla, walla, walla, walla” over and over again, which was recorded and then edited into the picture as background murmurings. Walla was also done in live theater productions.” David Kitchens, ADR Saved My Project 

For nearly a decade Alex D’Lerma’s The Looping  Walla Group has been providing ADR services including Looping, Walla and voice overs for both film and television projects. Juniper Post has worked with The Looping Walla Group on such projects as  America, James Cameron’s Expedition Bismarck, The Frozen Ground, Fire with Fire, Black Dynamite and many, many more.

I recently had the opportunity to ask Alex D’Lerma what are some of the things filmmakers should inform their Group ADR about prior to arriving at the studio for the session.

1. How many cues do you need to record?
This will help to determine the length of the session, 10 cues typically take about an hour in the studio.

2. What demographics do you need?
E.i. what race, gender, age, etc. does your background walla need to sound like.  This is important information to have so that the right casts are assembled, it doesn’t mean that if you have a scene with kids talking in the background that you need to cast children but it does mean that you need to have actors that can make their voices sound young.

3. What, if any accents are needed? 

4. Is it a period piece?
This is important for your walla group to know ahead of time so that they can be aware of any coloquilisms of the time. The group can research this and then work them into their Walla, which helps give your film an authentic feel.

5. Do the walla scenes require use of specialty terms, for example a hospital, police department, military, etc.

6. Is your show Union or not?
The Looping Walla Group has experienced voice actors for both union and non-union projects.

7. Permission to watch the project with cue sheets from the post production house.
This way the group leader of the Walla group can make notes and direct his group on what is needed, which will save you valuable studio time.

8. A locked down recording date.
I know I put this one last but it is really important. The more lead time you give, the better cast you will have for your Walla session.

All of the above points help ensure your background walla is smooth and thus adds that extra touch that makes your movie sound right.

 “From my perspective as a sound supervisor, a great walla group really adds life to scenes even it’s in a subtle one like a restaurant where there’s light conversation under dinner music.  When it comes to a scene where there are a lot of background actors, a walla group can be even more important, depending on what’s going on, on camera.  Hiring a group of voice actors with no experience to come to the studio and just adds lines can sometime result in a bunch of people standing around burning up studio time wondering what they should say, or worse, they say the wrong things that distract or take away from a scene.” – David Kitchens
