E'an Verdugo
My love for filmmaking began in middle school when I first picked up a camera to film my friends skateboarding in Southern California; all just for fun. I had no idea the impact shooting those videos would have on my life. Although it started as a way to make my skateboarding skills look better than they actually were, over the years I discovered my love for visual story telling.
Above everything else, story comes first. And that is what matters most to me when I approach each project. Whether it is a documentary, or a narrative film, I want to tell people’s stories in a way that will make an impact. Maybe even change lives.

Gio Locatelli - Sound Design
I started my career in Audio and Cinematography in 1984. I began interning at a Video Post studio in Mexico City, where I began learning how to edit video tape, film on a Moviola, and record, edit, and mix audio. Once it was time for college, I went on to study Radio, Television, and Film in the US, and minored with a Photography degree as well. During my time in college, I was producing soundtracks for independent TV producers, corporations, and for trade shows. After completing college, I moved to Dallas, Texas, where I began to work with many different companies doing field audio for shoots, sound designing for independent films, scoring for different shows, and mixing for ad agencies. As demand for my work increased, my studio business grew, and I have been doing this in Dallas since 1992. I have mixed countless commercials that have aired globally, for the World Cup, for the Super Bowl, and the Olympics. For large brands such as AT&T, Mercedes-Benz, Pepsi, Gatorade, Bud Light, Ford, McDonald’s, T-Mobile, and many others. I have sound designed and mixed multiple indie films and numerous episodic projects, and have been recognized with a few Clios, Addys, Radio Mercury’s and two Cannes Lions.
I have always enjoyed the journey of script to screen, from the angle of sound design and mix. I have always felt that this territory has so much space to create huge emotions. Blending space with music, effects, and dialog, those nuances can really move an audience in the direction that the script and the director intended. Sometimes the art of sound gets lost in the quest for more volume.
