Caleb Hathaway

Sound Supervisor (2025, 2026)

“What moved me most about my time at DMMO was how such breath taking artistry emerges from such a modest and human space. Every department—musical, technical, and administrative—poured so much heart, precision, and creativity into their work. There was this incredible spirit of collaboration and generosity that made the whole experience feel alive.”
