Wooohooo finally after 7 months of being in this new country, 3 months of work and 2 rejection, as they say third times the charm!!! Officially an IATSE boom operator permittee!!!
This is a dream come true as I’ve always dreamt about being part of this established union since the day that I shifted doing front of house and post production sound into doing location sound full time 12-13 years ago. I honestly never thought a person born and raised in the island of Borneo, situated half way around the world from Canada would ever stand a chance to be part of this Hollywood union.
Many thanks to Voice (superstar sound mixer 🤣)for taking a chance on me being in his team and who introduced me to his guru none other then the legend him self, Mister Michael LaCroix, (sound mixer for all the “Suits” series and also, 1980’s film “The Fly”) which I was fortunate enough and was an honour to have work with him the last 2 weeks of April,2021. Now this amazing veteran not only backed up my application but also, believed in my capability that I’m a right candidate for IATSE not to mention that he went trough the trouble to get some of the committee to re-assess my application ❤️ I feel blessed to have encountered these amazing people in my life!
