The 2022 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner was the first ever horror film to win the top award at the film festival. But before that, NANNY — the feature film debut from Nikyatu Jusu — was also the recipient of the 2022 Dolby Institute Fellowship, which awards a low-budget Sundance film with a post-production grant to finish the film in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®. Now that NANNY is available to stream on Prime Video, we recently sat down with writer-director Nikyatu Jusu, supervising sound editor Dave Flynch, and re-recording mixer Skip Lievsay to discuss the film’s rich soundtrack. This episode was recorded during a live post-screening Q&A for the Artist Academy — Film at Lincoln Center’s program for young filmmakers — and was moderated by our executive producer Amanda Schneider. https://www.filmlinc.org/filmmaker-initiatives/artist-academy/ “We talked a lot about character arc for the soundscape… There is a tendency to neglect sound in the conception stage. And if you think about your soundscape as a character, then you can have an arc for that soundscape so that the audience doesn't become numb, with a relentless soundscape that is not ebbing and flowing.” — Nikyatu Jusu, Writer-Director, NANNY Be sure to check out NANNY on Prime Video. https://www.amazon.com/NANNY-Anna-Diop/dp/B0B5NWDKC1 Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts: https://linktr.ee/dolbyinstitute To learn more, visit: https://www.dolby.com/institute/ Connect with Dolby:  Visit the Dolby WEBSITE: https://www.dolby.com  Like Dolby on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/Dolby/  Follow Dolby on TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Dolby  Follow Dolby on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dolbylabs/  Follow Dolby on LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dolby-laboratories #NANNY #NikyatuJusu #Sundance #SundanceFilmFestival #Filmmaking #SoundDesign #SoundMixing #Dolby #DolbyAtmos
