It is with great sadness that we relay the passing of our friend Lewis Erskine, ACE, on June 2nd, 2021.

I was lucky enough to work on two of Stanley Nelson's documentaries that Lewis edited: FREEDOM RIDERS (for which he and Aljernon Tunsil won a Primetime Emmy for outstanding picture editing) and (Grammy nominated) MILES DAVIS.

Lewis' talent, kindness and wit will be sorely missed, the world has lost a true Gentleman.

From Firelight Films 💥 --> CRACK: CO***NE, CORRUPTION & CONSPIRACY, the new film by Stanley Nelson, is coming to Netflix on January 11, 2021. Watch the trailer via the link in bio.

In the early 1980s, the crack epidemic tore through America’s inner cities like a tsunami, ravaging all in its wake. Decades later, the destructive effects on people’s lives, families and communities are still deeply felt.

Crack: Co***ne, Corruption & Conspiracy examines not only the personal devastation caused by the drug, but also the shadowy origins of the crisis and the resultant, ongoing marginalization of Black and Brown people trapped by the U.S. prison and healthcare systems.

String & Can, Audio-Post House.

With a combined 7 Wins and 16 Emmy Nominations for our work (along with an Edward R. Murrow and 1 win+4 Cinema Audio Society nominations), we’ve been doing this for a very long time..

We set up String & Can to be a competent, comfortable and flexible work space for your Voiceover, Foley, ADR, sound editing and mixing needs, both in our three studios in Midtown Manhattan (1 block from Penn Station) and our 5 home studios.

We’re in the middle of upgrading Mix’s 1+3 to Avid S6 control surfaces and Mix 3 will soon be Home Theater Dolby Atmos certified.

Our home studios never stop humming..we’re never far away from being able to take care of last minute fixes or not miss a deadline when the world is in trouble..(writing this in March 2020, in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic).
