We’re beyond excited to finally be able to share that we had the privilege of providing audio post for the new Netflix documentary Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things: The First Shadow. The film, produced by MakeMake Entertainment and directed by our longtime collaborator Jonathan Halperin, takes a behind the scenes look at the West End stage production of the play which is now on Broadway as well.

Special thanks to Terry Leonard and Stacy Kessler-Aungst of MakeMake for allowing us to collaborate with them and their amazing team, to Jonathan Halperin for being a loyal creative partner, and to Netflix for trusting us with such an important part of their streaming portfolio.
