Ethan Fremantle - Sound Designer & Editor
I was drawn to ‘Harvest’ by its approach to telling a story of friendship. The black comedy that comes with the organ harvesting aspect that still manages to tell a heartfelt story made it hard not to be part of this film. I’ve been editing films from a young age across a variety of softwares and mediums, so I aim to use my expertise to help bring this unique story to life in post-production. And as a musician who has spent time recording and producing music, stepping in as the sound recordist felt like a natural step in my involvement in this production, and I am looking forward to using my abilities to capture Sara’s vision for the film.
