Optimistic in the face of the writers and actors strikes that threaten to halt two-thirds of B.C.’s production volume, Vancouver audio house Post Modern Sound has opened its new mixing theatre in a bid to draw prestigious feature and series work that usually goes to L.A., New York and London.

The theatre, designed by New York consultants Acoustic Dimension, has been assembled to accommodate the various needs of the global marketplace. It is equipped with a Euphonix System 5 mixing console, which allows mixers to work in various formats simultaneously, and a screen onto which all analog and HD formats can be projected in all aspect ratios. * Mark Dillon
