POMANN SOUND CASTING DIRECTOR JOHN McKINNEY NOMINATED FOR PRESTIGIOUS PLAYWRITING AWARD.


As some of you already know, our casting director extraordinaire, John McKinney, has for the last several years been leading a secret life as a playwright.  (Which may explain his facility with directing actors and working with copywriters.)  Well, as of last week, John’s secret is out. Because his latest full-length play, The Chekhov Dreams, has just been nominated for best original full-length script by the New York Innovative Theater Awards, one of the most prestigious awards in Off-Off Broadway theater.

The Chekhov Dreams, was nominated for two awards, in fact, the second being for best actress in a leading role (who John was instrumental in discovering and casting – naturally). 

But the accolades don’t stop there!  The play also contains a monologue which will be published later this year by Smith & Kraus in their upcoming anthology, Best Monologues of 2013, Men.  This marks John’s second published work this year alone along with his short play, Unintelligent Life, which will be appear in the upcoming volume, Best 10 Minute Plays, 2013.

We feel John’s skill as a playwright can only expand his ability to network with the New York talent pool to help find the most talented actors for our clients.  And you can bet we’ll be rooting for him at the awards ceremony on September 30th.  But that won’t stop us from breaking open the champagne now!

ADR and Crossbows



The Zombie Apocalypse has come to Pomann Sound! No, its just Norman Reedus, the cross bow wielding bad-ass from AMC's hit show Walking Dead. For some of you die hard fans out there, Norman came in to record ADR for this upcoming fourth season! Were looking forward to see what surprises they have in store this season, and of course some sweet sounding ADR done by our own Walking Dead fan boy Max, who I'm pretty sure was giggling in his seat the whole session, sorry Max.

Once Upon A Time...At Pomann!




Last week, we had the great privilege to work with one of the most successful Bollywood actors of all time, Akshay Kumar! Our boy Max and he laid down some sweet sounding V.O. for the trailer for his new movie "Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Again" the sequel to an action packed love story were Akshay plays the ultimate villain. Portraying former mob boss Dawood Ibrahim, Akshay couldn't have been more opposite then his character in real life. He brought a real humbleness to the studio and was a pleasure to work with. We hope to see you soon Akshay! And if you haven't hopped on that Bollywood train, it's not too late. They're making some real quality stuff over there.

You can check out the trailer below...I can't understand what they're saying but I still want to see it
