On behalf of our clients & collaborators Q Department has made a donation to Farm Aid.

With Gratitude & Best Wishes for the New Year!

As another year of boundless creativity, doing what we love alongside the greatest humans on Earth, comes to a close, we take a moment to reflect.

From Super Bowl campaigns to mixing on the world’s greatest canvas, the Sphere in Vegas, from Emmy-nominated VR to groundbreaking art-world collaborations, we’ve chased the muse, bent the rules, and turned the dials past 11 in service of the craft and creating moments that resonate with the human experience.

With gratitude, we look to 2025, celebrating the prolific collaborations that made 2024 extraordinary: here are some of our teams favs!

We are bound by a mission to make the world sound better.

Farm Aid, founded in 1985 by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp, has supported family farmers and sustainable agriculture for nearly four decades.

I don’t think any other director has had Martin Scorsese introduce their directorial debut with Julie Taymore in the audience. But then again, nobody is Rodrigo Prieto, the famed cinematographer responsible for lighting and lensing countless renowned films, including The Wolf of Wall Street, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, Babel, 21 Grams, Brokeback Mountain, and many more including his first short film Likeness with Elle Fanning we scored. Catch this bold mystical saga on now. Congrats

Shoot Magazine Immersion In Sight, Sound and Story At Sphere. Filmmaker Carlos López Estrada, producer Valerie Bush, sound designer Drazen Bosnjak Q Department reflect on “For Mexico, For All Time,” a multisensory experience bridging sports and entertainment. LAS VEGAS —
Live sports and cinematic storytelling meshed earlier this month (9/14) at MSG Sphere, the revolutionary new entertainment venue in Las Vegas. UFC 306, Sphere’s first live sports event, brought mixed martial arts boxing matches together with the world premiere of a film–For Mexico, For All Time–which played out in six 90-second chapters in between the bouts on the UFC pay-per-view card. Each chapter focused on a different period in Mexican history and its influence on shaping Mexican identity. Shown on the massive interior display of Sphere, For Mexico, For All Time was created by filmmaker Carlos López Estrada and produced by Valerie Bush via Antigravity Academy, and co-produced by Nexus Studios. Sound designer, supervising sound editor and lead re-recording mixer Drazen Bosnjak and his team at New York-headquartered Q Department brought their creative and technical wherewithal to For Mexico, For All Time, dovetailing with the sound ensemble at Sphere and indie composer Germaine Franco. They contributed to what turned out to be the highest grossing UFC event of all time, and the highest grossing single event at Sphere, playing before a sold out crowd of 16,024.
