Neil and Jason talk to emerging Australian sound designer Andrew Dean about his work, in particular the award-winning films ‘Mud Crab’ (written and directed by David Robinson-Smith), ‘Gorgo’ (directed by Veniamin Gialouris) and the forthcoming feature film ‘Salt Along the Tongue’, (directed by Parish Malfitano), that Andrew sound designed and mixed.

Andrew describes his journey from working in a Bathurst multi-screen cinema, then studying for a music degree, moving from recording studios to mixing television shows for SBS, and then studying sound design at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS). Andrew graduated from their Masters programme in 2022 and has subsequently pursued several creative endeavours with AFTRS alumni.

“At AFTRS (that’s the Australian Film Television and Radio School), students in the Master of Arts Screen program learn how to create exactly that kind of magic. One graduate who’s done just that is Andrew Thomas Dean, who worked as Sound Supervisor on Gorgo – a short film that reimagines the Medusa myth through a contemporary lens. It recently won Best Short Film at the 2025 AACTA awards – that’s top marks for a collaborative school project!

We caught up with Andrew to find out what it was like helping bring Gorgo to life. We also spoke to Mark Ward, a sound design lecturer at AFTRS, about what it really means to work in sound and why it might just be one of the most creative film roles around.”
