25 Hill
Set against the rolling hills of Taft, California a small town where once productive oil wells pumped strong when the economy flourished…
12 year-old Trey Caldwell receives a gift from his father for Christmas – a Soap Box Derby car kit. Never having mentioned any interest in the Derby, Trey finds it an “interesting” choice given what he really wanted was a new laptop computer to compliment the other technology in his bedroom. Nonetheless, being a good kid and the son every father would want, Trey gushes with enthusiasm, “thanks pop.” He later finds that the Derby was an unfilled dream of his dad.
The two start building the car but the work is cut short when Trey’s dad, an Army Reservist is called to duty in Afghanistan. Two weeks in he’s killed. Trey is left with his mom, the unfinished car and a dream that has died with his father.
Trey’s teacher puts him together with a man from her church, a local Fire Chief named Roy Gibbs who himself has suffered a great tragedy that has all but killed his dream of a better America and sent him into a 10 year downward spiral. Roy’s son, a firefighter himself, was killed on 9/11.

How Can We Help?We are a state-of-the-art facility providing the highest quality sound services...
A natural sound is the audio taken from the actual source. Sometimes natural sound does not meet audience expectations because they are disappointed by the sound of reality and influenced by sound ideology.
Our sound designers help in the planning stages of film and television shows. We work with the director and post producer to shape the overall soundtrack of the film/show to manipulate the audio elements and create a desired mood.
The audio recorded on set needs to be properly mixed by a dialogue editor. At AnEFX, locating the proper take from the recorded audio, checking sync and eliminating extraneous noise so that the mixer can clean the dialogue is all crucial.
Foley supplies the film with subtle and everyday sounds that the microphone often misses. These background noises refer to anything from footsteps to doors closing to splashing in the pool that makes the film/show seem realistic.
ADR is the process of recording and replacing voices after the original shooting sequence. If the film is shot on a sound stage, the dialogue recorded will probably be used in the final film because there is usually no background influence.
