Ande Schurr

I’m a production sound mixer servicing feature films, TV productions and commercials. My approach is to deliver high quality results using the best technology available.

From my experience, I realise the need for consistent and tidy sound; physical and mental endurance and the building of and maintaining excellent relations with core crew and cast.

I invite you to read my work history and references below.

"Ande was from the moment I met him the most personable and energetic sound recordist I had ever worked with.  He offered exactly the support I require on set from sound, focused on whatever we were shooting and specific in his requests and needs. Making me aware of his requirements without slowing down the process or compromising the sound. I would happily work with Ande anytime."
Sincerely Nick Copus
- Director, “ICE” (UK Mini-series/Feature) 2009

“Not only was his work exemplary, with his remarkable skill in
recording dialogue and sound saving us hours in post-production,
but his non-stop enthusiasm and general good-spiritedness
was an inspiration to all of us on set”
- Ron Oliver, on the 2008 US feature “Kiss Me Deadly”
Emmy nominated director for Disney and Warner Brothers
