ALLISTAIR JOHNSON

Sound Mixer/Recordist

I'm a sound mixer/recordist based in New York City but working all over the country and world. I'm equipped with the gear and skills to mix almost anything, but I specialize in documentary, comedy, and independent films. I studied film production with a special focus on sound at Boston University.
