my talents for music and sound to movies,” Perrolf said. “I loved technology

sound effects. It still fascinates me as how important it is to setting the
mood and enhance storytelling through sound!”

Selfie,” from director Joy Shannon. The film tells the story of Ginger, a young

the dialogue and creating the mood and urgency of the moment through sound is a
big part of filmmaking.”
