Preston Shepard
- Music Department
- Sound Department
Preston's journey into working in the film industry started with music. A Los Angeles area native, Preston grew up in a musical home where he played piano, cello, and trumpet before settling on horn (French Horn) in high school. He attended both Cal State Northridge and Azusa Pacific University on performance scholarships, and fell in love with playing commercial, trailer and film music in the recording studio. His studio recording experience led to an interest in the art of recording itself, and he soon found himself immersed in the world of digital audio recording, just as the "home studio" explosion was happening in the early 2000's.
This interest soon translated into recording indie film scores for friends and colleagues, and eventually splitting his career into two equal parts of recording and mixing music for television and film, and performing both in the studios, as well as performing with many of the LA area regional orchestras and theatre companies. Along the way, Preston also got into sound editing for picture, and has supervised and mixed over a dozen feature films over the years.
