THE HARBOR MAGAZINE ISSUE NO.41

What do UFOs, a Trojan horse, Laguna Beach, and a New England boarding school in the 70s have in common? I’ll tell you – they’re all mentioned in this magazine’s features.   

My colleague in the UK, Alli Albion, grants us behind the scenes access to how the Harbor VFX team created the Oreo Super Bowl spot ,‘Twist On It,’ which travels across time and space with stunning otherworldly tableaux.  

Our cover star, Laura Chinn, who made her Sundance premiere with Suncoast this year, dedicated some time out of her hectic press tour to provide us with insights on the sound finishing process alongside Harbor Re-Recording Mixer Ian Cymore. Read on to learn how her and the Harbor sound team enhanced her semi-autobiographical film with an authentic Floridian soundscape. My sincerest thanks to Laura for giving us her time and for sharing her story on and off-screen.  

In recent news, we have a brand-new studio, now open in Culver City, Los Angeles. Read about the state-of-the-art facility with three 4k projection stages and two LED-wall theaters, including an 8k LED-wall theater with a 34ft screen, making it one of the largest LED-wall post-production theaters.  

Plus, meet the filmmakers and check out the short films that screened at our second annual student film festival with ReelWorks during Black History Month, amplifying voices of the next generation of Black Filmmakers.  

And as always, we’ve got new work to brag about, #outnow. 

Thank you to our readers. If no one reads the Harbor Monthly, am I just screaming into the void?  Write to me if you read this so I know you’re there. ellie.powers@harborpicturecompany.com
