The Sound and Music of The Social Dilemma

August 12, 2021

In our conversation we chat with Director Jeff Orlowski about his Emmy nominated documentary The Social Dilemma now streaming on Netflix. We also feature Supervising Sound Editor / Sound Designer, Richard Gould, Foley Artist Andrea Gard and Composer and Production Sound recordist Mark Crawford.

We tweet, we like, and we share— but what are the consequences of our growing dependence on social media? As digital platforms increasingly become a lifeline to stay connected, Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what’s hiding on the other side of your screen.

The Social Dilemma premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2020, and was released on Netflix on September 9, 2020. The documentary went on to be viewed in 38,000,000 homes within the first 28 days of release. It received 7 nominations for the 73rd Annual Emmy Awards in 2021.
