After building an impressive reputation in the world of audio post-production in NYC over the past 15 years, Ryan Billia, Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer and Re-Recording mixer will partner with HARBOR.
A graduate of Berklee College of Music, with a dual degree in Production and Engineering and Music Synthesis, Billia has been an Adjunct Professor teaching audio post at NYU’s Graduate Film program for the past seven years. While he started out in the commercial world, features and documentaries were his true calling, and opening Rumble Audio allowed him to fine-tune his work ethic and creative approach. Over the years, he’s cultivated collaborative partnerships with such esteemed filmmakers as Desiree Akhavan, Andrew Ahn, Aaron Katz, Michael Angelo Covino, Sebastian Silva, Jem Cohen, Jill Magid, Alex Camilleri and Kate McKinnon.
In that time, Ryan has also worked on acclaimed films produced by Terrence Malick, Laura Poitras, and Ramin Bahrani.
Billia’s Brooklyn-based Rumble Audio successfully served the independent film community for the past eight years. “Partnering with HARBOR allows me to focus my energies on my passion for the sound craft to help filmmakers achieve their sonic vision,” says Billia. “It’s great to be joining a family I’ve worked with for years.”
Billia’s Rumble Audio protégé, Beau Emory, will also be making the move to HARBOR, joining as an ADR Recordist/Mixer and Dialogue Editor. CAS Award-nominated Emory originally took an internship with Billia at Rumble Audio after attending the NYU Graduate Music Technology program.
Emory’s calm, friendly, stress-free approach, along with his diverse set of tools and methods to accommodate the working styles of directors and actors, have won him credits on major film and TV projects such as Dune, Falling, The Addams Family, The Underground Railroad, Mrs America, Killing Eve, The Walking Dead, Ozark, Arrested Development and Fargo.
Senior Producer of Sound Post, Kelsea Wigmore, commented on the new partnership: “Ryan is a long-time friend of HARBOR’s who fits our team ethos perfectly, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for his arrival. We’ve always admired his talent, approach, drive, and attitude, and feel fortunate to have him join our core group of artists. We welcome both Ryan and Beau to our ever-growing roster of top-tier talent."
