[Frameworks] Exemplary Sound Design in AG Film

[robert harris]

Albert,

Thanks for all the references.  I’ll definitely look for Melissa Ragona’s book.
I saw the Sharits film many many times, and would always have delirious acoustic hallucinations 2/3 of the way through.
Probably why I kept going back, no?
