Berkeley Sound Artists' has a stellar reputation in the world of postproduction audio. And we've made a name for ourselves as one of the preeminent documentary sound houses in the country. Our reputation is based on our creative sensitivity, technical expertise and ability to really listen to our clients' desires.

Post sound happens at an interesting time in a film's development. Everyone has been working on it for years. The months leading up to picture lock have been arduous. And then, this new group of people comes onboard ­ the sound crew. Will they care as much as we do? Will they get us to the finish line on time? We know that your film is your baby and we'll take good care of it!

We work on projects of any size or budget. First-time filmmakers love us because we guide them through the process from start to finish. And they can expect the same attention to detail and personal comfort that we've given to Academy Award™- winning directors and corporate clients. From simple stereo mixes to 5.1 surround, we offer the option of finishing in our Studio One, downstairs at Berkeley Digital Film Institute's Dolby capable mix theater, offsite up at Skywalker Sound or in Los Angeles.

BSA can guide you through the ever-changing maze of required delivery formats, including television, DVD, High Definition or foreign versions. We stay up to date on the current delivery specifications for PBS and all the major festivals.

Speaking of television and festivals, our work has been heard on HBO, PBS and at film festivals such as Sundance, Tribeca and Toronto.
