Supervising Sound Editor
Full Member / Fellow
The Council of the Association of Motion Picture Sound is pleased to award Fellowship of the Association to Catherine Hodgson, a distinguished and well respected Supervising Sound Editor working in both Film and and Television Drama sound. Catherine’s contributions to many notable soundtracks have been rewarded with eight BAFTA Nominations since the early nineties, a Royal Television Society Award for 'The Long Firm' in 2004 and two BAFTA Awards, 'Our Mutual Friend' in 1999 and 'Wallander' in 2010.
Catherine contributed to the ‘Sound of Story 2016’ forum, which was organised by Women in Film and supported by AMPS.
A letter of recommendation from Walter Murch:
Dear AMPS Council ::
I am writing to recommend Catherine Hodgson for an AMPS Fellowship.
I have known Catherine, personally, for almost fifty years, and professionally for thirty five. Her father, Les Hodgson, and I collaborated on a series of films over twenty years (Julia, Apocalypse Now, Return to Oz, First Knight) and it was in a family context that I first met Catherine.
I was accordingly happy to learn of Catherine’s first professional film credits in the mid 1980’s, and I have watched her subsequent 30 year career in sound editing and sound supervision with great interest and admiration, particularly her jobs as supervising sound editor on Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Eyre - as well as TV series such as Wallander.
I believe an AMPS Fellowship for Catherine would be an overdue credit to the organisation, and I am sure that for her part, she would bring an industrious charm and a unique perspective to our meetings and conferences.
With earnest hopes for Catherine’s Fellowship,
Walter Murch.
The Council is proud to honour Catherine Hodgson AMPS with a Fellowship of the Association.
