Johnnie Burn

Johnnie Burn is a London-based sound designer, supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer. His work is anchored by a simple philosophy: you can shut your eyes, but you cannot shut your ears.

He has collaborated closely with directors including Jonathan Glazer (The Zone of Interest, Under the Skin), Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite, The Lobster) and Jordan Peele (Nope). His work on The Zone of Interest earned him an Academy Award and a BAFTA for Best Sound. He treats sound as part of the storytelling from script to final mix, developing it alongside the picture rather than adding it at the end.
