Summary

Sound Designer Peter Albrechtsen is becoming one of our most frequent and favorite guests to have on the Next Best Picture Podcast, and it's easy to see why. Even with a film such as "The Lost Leonardo," a documentary about the discovery of a lost painting supposedly by Leonardo da Vinci, he's still a wealth of knowledge and insight into the creative filmmaking process for movies that don't have the most obvious use of sound work. Listening to him is a real pleasure, and you should check out our previous chats with him if you haven't already as well as the latest down below. Enjoy!
