| May 14, 2025

Skywalker Sound’s Benjamin A. Burtt, Steve Boeddeker, and David C. Hughes talk with writer Jay Stobie about their team’s role in bringing this musically-charged, supernatural period piece to life.

“I love that Ryan [Coogler] is a student of film in every aspect,” Burtt recalls. “We’ve been working with him on and off for a decade, and there’s a trust between us. We want to end up where he envisions a movie going, but he gives us freedom to use our best judgment for what we think a scene needs. He’s open to opinions and fresh takes.” Reflecting on their rapport with Coogler, Boeddeker concludes, “The Skywalker-Sundance connection made this relationship happen.”
