As the film and television industry continues to gain momentum in Montana, the demand for reliable, world-class sound mixers continues to grow as well. My name is Brett Ulery and I am a sound mixer based in Missoula, Montana. I have been working in film and television since the late 1900’s. Just after the turn of the century, I began shooting and editing local commercials for a small ad agency in Flagstaff, a mountainous city in Arizona roughly the size of Missoula.
ABOUT
Let's bring sound to your vision--together.
Opportunity called and soon I found myself mixing amongst the stars in Los Angeles. Since then, I have worked on many tv shows, short and feature length films, in many capacities, learning our shared craft of film-making not only as a sound mixer but from nearly every angle and harnessing the story-telling power of sound. Currently, my sound mixing work can be heard on a variety of platforms ranging from ABC to Snapchat Original Content, from Netflix, Apple TV+, max and Disney+.
Feel free to click around the website, see what is offered and available. If you need a quote, advice, or just want to chat about the industry, feel free to reach out using the contact form. I look forward to hearing from you.
