Conversation: Aza Hand on Mixing Kneecap – The Sound Behind the Rebellion

In this episode of Bonfire Conversations, I sit down with Aza Hand, the re-recording mixer behind the explosive Irish film Kneecap, Ireland’s official submission for the 2025 Oscars. Aza takes us behind the scenes of this powerful, music-driven movie, sharing insights on the technical and creative challenges he faced while crafting the film’s dynamic sound. From high-energy concert scenes to balancing music, dialogue, and sound effects, Aza's work brings Kneecap's rebellious spirit to life.
