You are listening to The Next Best Picture podcast, and this is Will Mavity's interview with the sound

re-recording mixer and sound designer of the Amazon documentary Generation Wealth, Peter Albrexson.

If I want to work 100 hours a week and never see my family and die at an early age, that's my prerogative.

I would have money as big as I swam.

In case it?

33 pounds of gold and diamonds given to me by superstars of the world.

I love money.

Peter, how are you?

Hello. I'm very happy to be here. Thank you.

All right, Peter. So obviously your film's creating a lot of conversation right now.

It seems like it's never not timely to have a film that reminds us just how toxic our society's

fascination of wealth and culture is.

But I'm curious, I mean, you have an eclectic mix of things.

The most recent two big-name projects I saw you attached to were Dunkirk and Thelma.

What brought you to a documentary like Generation Wealth?

I'm actually all the time going back and forth between doing fiction films and doing documentaries.

I think like during the last, I don't know, 10, 15 years, documentary movies have become so much more, like, visual and also sonically interesting.

So there's, I mean, it's really creative and really great for me as a sound designer to

do documentaries as well. And I like this dynamic between doing very different kinds of projects all the time.

It's a wonderful way of keep on getting new inspiration for my work.

And at the same time, I'm so privileged to get to work with some really wonderful filmmakers

and having a great crew that helps me. And in that sense, I really like that
