Performing and recording Foley for this wonderful film was a real pleasure – not only because of its intense story and brilliant pictures, but as a Foley Artist you just have to love this: Walking through the desert and climbing rocks in Flip-Flops, all these nuances of different sand and gravel, rusty train wagons, and providing ambience tracks for the rattling metal sheds…
Good luck now for the festivals!
