Summary

We are seeking an experienced sound designer for 'In Another Life, Tonight,' a SAG-AFTRA short film — an intimate queer love story about human connection, vulnerability, and a goodbye that never happened. Music composition is handled separately; this role is sound design only: dialogue cleanup, ambient soundscapes, SFX, and overall sonic texture that serves the emotional arc of the film. The edit locks in approximately two weeks, so we need someone who can move efficiently without sacrificing craft. U.S.-based, Pacific Time preferred. We are looking for someone who engages with the story — not just the technical specs and brings a point of view to the sound. Please share relevant work, particularly anything on intimate character-driven drama or LGBTQ+ content.
