September 29th, 2010 – It’s now nearly 10PM and a stream of artists,  industry guests, and the production team are leaving the theater after  having witnessed the Polish Brothers’ 7th feature, For Lovers Only, shot  in Paris and through out Europe in a fast-paced shooting schedule that blends the Polish’s eye  for steady craft with a run-and-gun approach al la cinema New Wave. This  feature romancer has a sly edge, and puts together two fine performance  by Mark Polish (in his second lead directed by his brother Michael) and  the ingenue Stana Katic (of Castle renown). A spell hung in the air as  the viewers talked on the sidewalk. Was it love or doom or both perhaps  they had just witnessed? Maybe that was the point to leave that feeling  without a definition, more of a hanging semicolon than a period. We’ll  always have Paris, or will we…

The film looked and sounded fantastic. It was a challenging  audio job in post as the production recordings were captured on live  locations. Through a thorough dialogue editorial period where the Stand  Sound team dug out the toolkit, and built background enhancements to  cohere with horns and birds, the audio became one with the backdrop of  Paris and the actors’ dialogue. Mixing at Lotus Post in Santa Monica,  the film translated beautifully to theater projection sound at the  premier, notable with the Stand audio landscape was Kubi Uner’s fine score.
