Pyramind senior instructor, Steve Heithecker, sits down with Pyramind alum Adam Heffler to discuss his experience working on the revealing documentary film, Sickness in the System.
Adam reflects on the impact his education at Pyramind had on his budding career and how it prepared him to become a sound designer.
