The Sound of The Outrun, with Director Nora Fingscheidt

October 8, 2024
Listen to the episode

Director and co-writer Nora Fingscheidt joins her sound team to discuss their extraordinary work on the new film “The Outrun” — a moving portrayal of one woman’s struggle with sobriety and memories of a traumatic childhood, using sound design to explore the emotional landscape of its main character, Rona, played by the extraordinary Saoirse Ronan. From the quiet, wind-swept expanses of the Orkney Islands to the bustling streets of London, the team reveals how they crafted distinct sonic environments that reflect Rona’s turbulent emotional journey. The film was a standout at this past year’s Sundance Film Festival and is a masterclass in how to use sound design to tell a compelling, layered story.

Joining today’s discussion:

As soon as we get together - this crew, with our composers - we see it as this merging [of an] audio landscape, between sound design, mix and music. And we start thinking, ‘how should this movie sound?’ Basically at the same time as I get together with the DOP discussing, ‘how should this movie look?’ It's 50% image, 50% sound, no matter what the budget is.

Nora Fingscheidt, Director and Co-Writer, “The Outrun”
