Hollywood, CA, September 15, 2008 – Continuing its run on providing audio services to the feature film industry, SonicPool, one of Hollywood’s leading post facilities, specializing in audio and video finishing, edit suite rentals, and full post-production services, has completed the mix for a new theatrical trailer promoting the upcoming film “Smother,� and has also provided the sound design and final mix for the film “Lonely Street.� The announcement was made by John Frost and Patrick Bird, co-founders, SonicPool.
ABOUT “SMOTHER� PROJECT:
The theatrical trailer promoting “Smother� is playing in theatres now, with the film opening during late September. SonicPool worked with client Karl Hirsch, the producer of the trailer, and his company Aglet Post.
Said Hirsch, “We wanted the sound mix for the ‘Smother’ trailer to match the quality of the feature and its cast as best as possible, and wanted the trailer to have a ‘studio-picture’ sound. Unfortunately, we did not have a ‘studio-picture’ budget. SonicPool was a perfect fit; the mix was exceptional, they worked with our budget and schedule, and John Frost’s additional creative input helped make the trailer work much better than I thought possible. Both myself and our clients were quite pleased with the final mix, and I have since become a loyal client to SonicPool.�
ABOUT “SMOTHER:�
“Smother,â€? from Variance Films, stars Diane Keaton and Dax Shepard. The storyline is as follows: “What would you do if your mother moved in with you and just wouldn’t leave?

Comedy ensues as Noah learns to deal with the pressures of finding a job, a wife who desperately wants a baby, and worst of all a mother who won’t quit smothering him.â€?
