Short film · Directed by Matvey Fiks and Mika Altskan · 2018

Badsound: Sound design, music editing & mix

Brooklyn-based filmmakers Mika Altskan and Matvey Fiks follow street photographer Daniel Arnold over three days and across the five boroughs as the photographer homes in on his subjects—teenagers lifting weights in an alleyway, grandmothers gossiping on a boardwalk bench, a father who pantomimes throwing his son in a trash can—depicting the diverse, chaotic energy of the city, and Arnold's method of capturing the moments that can slip past others in all of their humanity-revealing glory.

Studio portrait

Badsound is a Berlin-based sound post-production and music studio founded by Nikolay Antonov. For over a decade, we’ve shaped the sound of film and advertising, from sound design and re-recording mixing to original music.

Our films have screened at Sundance, Berlinale, NYFF, Tribeca, Locarno, IDFA, IFFR and many more festivals. In advertising, we’ve worked with Nike, Jordan, Coca Cola, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Netflix, Amazon, Bumble, and Oura, earning a Webby People’s Voice Award and an ADC Bronze for Best Use of Sound and Music, among other accolades.

Beyond sound and music, we work as post producers and supervisors, guiding projects from the first script draft to the premiere.
