Shawver, film editor; Steve Boeddeker, sound designer/supervisor and re-recording mixer; and Geoffrey Baumann, visual effects supervisor. The trio will explore how picture editorial, sound, and visual effects departments worked together and with director Ryan Coogler to create one of the year’s biggest hits.
“’Marvel’s Jessica Jones’: The Art of Darkness”* will include Melissa Rosenberg, series creator, showrunner, and executive producer; Manuel Billeter, director of photography; and Tony D’Amore, senior colorist.
