Default Re: Mix for TV played in a theatre

I would be very careful with generic "film festivals". So many of these festivals have terrible sound and picture, and are staffed by "volunteers" as opposed to professional technicians . The fact that it plays in a "festival and even in a theater" does not mean that the sound will be anything like what a professional commercial theater will sound like. I have sent many films to festival (at least 30 mixes), and generic festival usually have horrible sound. Just a couple of weeks ago, I film that I did played at a very large theater (this is a real movie theater) that had an old "monophonic system". The sound had NO BASS at all (somehow they were lacking anything from 20 hz to about 200 hz according to my meter), and the could not even reach 85dbC from pink without totally distorting the system. If you want your film to sound great, you should probably provide them a good stereo mix also. Too many of these festivals don't even know what LTRT is or how to decode it.
