COOL CAT AUDIO AT MSPIFF 2026
The audio postproduction work of Cool Cat Audio will feature in three documentary films screening at this year’s Minneapolis- St Paul International Film Festival, which runs from April 8th through 19th at The Main Cinema in Minneapolis. It’s been a privilege to come along on the final leg of each journey taken by these artists. Congrats on their work’s inclusion in the fest!
In Lucy Matthews Heegaard’s short doc “Meet Me In Silence”, fueled by equal parts fear and curiosity, the filmmaker undertakes a year-long experiment sitting in silence and darkness with strangers in the extreme quiet of a room engineered to absorb all sound.
The first production of The People's Museum for Prince, the short “Dearly Beloved” explores what director Emma Balazs sought when she traveled to Minneapolis looking for Prince after his passing, and what she found instead. It's about grief, about place, about how we try to get close to someone we've lost.
Equal parts harrowing and hopeful, Chris Newberry’s feature documentary “Echoes in the Night: The Search for Jacob Wetterling” follows the search for a Minnesota child abducted in 1989. The crime sent shockwaves across the country and the story became more tragic as the Wetterlings achingly searched for answers and kept the light on for Jacob for 26 years.
