Oooh, I just thought of a question, hopefully you'll get it in time.

In about 5 years time (perhaps a bit less), I will probably make the move from Australia to the USA. Obvious visa issues and whatnot aside, which coast would you recommend more for a beginning soundie? LA or NYC? I know the bulk of the work happens in LA, but I much prefer NYC as a city... Where do you find yourself most of the time?

Hi Jen, love your work! I'm a beginning sound post guy from Australia. A few years ago through some of my connections, I met up with Ben Cheah in NYC, an Aussie who has worked on many of the same films that you have. You probably know him. He was awesome to meet with, and an evening of his time was one of the most invaluable experiences in my career so far.

No real question, just saying thanks for making the art of sound editing known to a greater audience. The amount of people who I talk to about filmmaking who don't realise that sound post is an actual part of the process boggles the mind. All the best with you career!
