Red Dog tops the box office!
Soundfirm would like to say a huge congratulations to Kriv Stenders and Nelson Woss for an outstanding first week at the box office. Reg Dog is now the highest grossing Australian film of 2011! Soundfirm was thrilled to be a part of this heartfelt outback tale. Well done Koko!
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
A young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own.
Starring Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK is a terrifying vision from director Troy Nixey and producer Guillermo del Toro.
"While there are plenty of jump-out-of-your-seat moments, “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” is distinguished by its restraint and creative use of sound. We’ve all seen countless fright flicks where creaking floors create suspense, but how many have used whispers — “Come down to the basement and play with us” — to equal effect?" LA times
Soundfirm was thrilled to be home to the sound post production for DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, which will be released in Australia later this year.

RED DOG is based on the legendary true story of the Red Dog who united a disparate local community while roaming the Australian outback in search of his long lost master.
Produced by Nelson Woss and directed by Kriv Stenders, RED DOG is based on the bestselling book by Louis de Bernieres.
Soundfirm was thrilled to be home to sound post production for RED DOG.

Master diver Frank McGuire has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team-including 17-year-old son Josh and financier Carl Hurley are forced to radically alter plans.
