Justine Angus
Justine Angus has a great love and passion for all things sound, and considers herself very fortunate to have had a wide and varied experience in many facets of audio.
She began her sound career as a music recording engineer and producer. From there, she got into live sound reinforcement for music and theatre.
After being offered a three-month contract at ABC-TV in Sydney, she found herself pursuing a new audio discipline. Ten years at the ABC gave Justine a varied and comprehensive grounding in sound-to-picture. Both production – sound recording and live TV studio – and post production sound – music editing, sound FX creation and editing, foley walking and recording, and dialogue editing.
Subsequent freelance work on feature films, along with TV drama and comedy, has seen Justine live and work in the UK, the U.S., India and Germany, as well as Australia.
Sound is, in her opinion, 60% of a cinematic experience. So the challenge and skill of creating that immersive and transportative story-telling experience, utilising the marriage of technology and creativity, is a privilege and delight.
Some of her many credits include Batman Begins, Happy Feet I & II, Seed of Chucky, The Railway Man, Wildside and Top of the Lake S02.
She has been nominated for Golden Reel Awards for Best Sound editing for Batman Begins and Hacksaw Ridge, winning an award for the latter, and has won AACTA awards for Best Sound editing for The Rover, Deadline Gallipoli and Hacksaw Ridge, along with ASSG Awards for various feature and TV productions.

Cindy Clarkson
Cindy Clarkson discovered the joy of editing while at university. Since then she has pursued her passion and worked on Hollywood features, independent documentaries and short films.
Cindy's love is storytelling that captivates the audience through the interweaving of picture and sound to entertain, inform and create an emotional experience that remains with them.
Her aim as an editor is to find the film the director envisioned and together surpass it.
Some career highlights are action films Warriors of Virtue 2 – Return to Tao US kids fantasy flick shot in China that included 30 minutes of martial arts to the pot boilers of Jon Hewitt hypercut hunt for a child killer – redball to the thriller X. Or changing the pace the tense survival independent drama Van Diemen’s Land or the surreal World War 2 drama Canopy to the lighter tone of family dramedy and one of the Australian 2015 box office hit Oddball.
To date she has cut 11 feature films, and was nominated in the 2013 ACCTA Awards for best editing in a feature film for X.

Nathalie Resciniti
Nathalie graduated with a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the University of Melbourne in 2000, and went on to complete a Graduate Diploma of Cinema Studies. For the next few years, she pursued a career in music, thinking that working in film would be something a future Nathalie would do. By 2006, she realised she couldn’t just fall into it, so she studied Foundations in Film and TV at the VCA in 2007, and that’s when her real journey into the film industry began. She thought she would go into sound, but got distracted by some of the other jobs that could be done! However, after crewing on many short films in various roles, she found her interest really did lie in sound, so she started working with sound recordists. She spent 5 years working as a boom operator on projects such as Upper Middle Bogan, The Kettering Incident and Predestination. She learnt to record while working on set with very experienced sound recordists. But she really wanted to know the whole sound process, from start to finish. So she found her way into post production, where she has been an effects editor working on documentaries such as Sherpa, various shorts, but has recently finished 52 episodes of Jar Dwellers SOS, an animation series for Viskatoons.
