The Sound Designer shapes the sonic world of a film — building an immersive aural landscape from dialogue, effects, ambience, and music that makes the story feel alive and located in time and place. On an independent film, the sound designer often carries a broader remit than on a larger production, overseeing the entire post-sound process from spotting to final mix. We look for sound designers who are as interested in negative space as they are in density: who understand that silence and subtlety can be as powerful as any effects layer.
What We Look For
01
Credits as sound designer on completed dramatic film or TV projects
02
Distinctive approach to sonic world-building across dialogue, effects, and ambience
03
Experience managing the full post-sound pipeline from edit to mix
04
Strong collaborative instincts with directors and editors
05
Technical fluency in Pro Tools or equivalent industry-standard DAWs
Working with Indie Matter
01
Original Stories Only
We develop original screenplays exclusively. No IP, no franchise sequels, no adaptations. Every project starts from a blank page.
02
Collaborative by Design
Independent film lives and dies by its crew. We work with people who bring genuine creative investment alongside technical excellence.
03
UK-Based Productions
London-based studio, shooting across the UK. We look for crew who understand the realities of lean independent production without compromising on quality.
FAQ
Does the sound designer at Indie Matter also mix the final dub?
On smaller productions, yes. On features, we typically engage a dedicated re-recording mixer for the final dub.
At what stage of post-production do you bring on the sound designer?
Ideally at picture lock, though earlier involvement allows the sound designer to build the world more fully.
Do sound designers need their own studio setup?
A personal working setup is expected. Final mix facilities are booked separately through the production.
