SM Sound Editor Becomes Producer

   Albert Lord, owner of PoolSide Post in Santa Monica has been made associate producer of “The Immigrant Gardens,” Northwest Film Projects’ first full length feature film.
   Lord has spent over 25 years in the sound industry. He began his career in the mailroom at KFRC, San Francisco, and went on to become the station’s first black producer in 1980.
   In 1989, he moved from radio to films, becoming a sound editor in feature film and television production and subsequently founded PoolSide, a provider of post-production sound services. Lord has received eight Emmy nominations and seventeen Golden Reel (Motion Picture Sound Editor) nominations, and has won one Emmy and the 1997 DGA award as supervising sound editor for his work on the award-winning short, “A Guy Walks Into A Bar.”
   Lord, the father of two, did re-recording, sound editing and mixing on “The Immigrant Gardens” because of his interest in low budget family films.
   Northwest, a digital media company in Chebalis, Washington, specializes in the development and production of rural stories and documentaries for theatrical and television release. “The Immigrant Gardens” began as a class project at Centralia Community College.
