About this episode

Fred Asquith interviews the Dolby team about their audio and cinema technologies and their impact on filmmaking.

This week on FoF we chat to the team at Dolby. You may or may not be aware of Dolby Atmos, Dolby Cinema, plus other Dolby offerings via Apple Music, Netflix etcetera. In this interview we dive into all the above, whether it’s bs or legitimately better, plus discuss building relationships with filmmakers (Sam Mendes! Edgar Wright!) and more in this all-round lovely convo. Ironically, my interview with Dolby had the most audio issues of any interview or episode so apologies if you notice little issues here and there. Tried to make it as smooth as possible across the board and if I do say so myself it’s a cracking listen. You’re welcome. SUBSCRIBE and join the FoF Family! RATE & REVIEW!
