With stories that span from childhood inspirations to professional triumphs, HER Frequency is an intimate documentary that follows a deep and sometimes hilarious conversation between Black women and women of color about their authentic experiences and artistry in Sound.
Review by Andie Kay:
I don’t think I’ve ever started a review this way but I am blown away by how amazing this film is. Music is the heartbeat of the world. It heals, it teaches, it provides a friend when you need one most and it adds a dynamic to motion pictures that generate emotion. Imagine what Back to the Future would be without a score? No thanks.
Her Frequency takes a table full of industry powerhouses in sound and has inspiring conversations with them. The questions asked by Osha McCall were deep and insightful.
Listening to the advice and experience from Amanda Davis, Kimberly Wilson McCord, Teneal Boone (who also produced this film), Julie Diaz and Judi Lee Headman was very empowering. Sound design, mixing, engineering and editing is different depending on if it’s a live concert, a film score or a studio album and I loved how they spoke about all of it. One of my favorite things while listening to a song is to be able to catch something that sits far back in the mix. It’s like you just found a winning lotto ticket! I love how they touched on this and hearing how cool it is for them when someone says “Hey I heard this in the mix”.
Jae Gilyard directed this and did such a great job! Also some incredible cinematography from Nina Miller plus the camera work was beautifully done. This film is a must watch for anyone in the industry. Even if you aren’t, it will inspire you to follow your dreams.
