You've heard his work your whole life. You just never knew his name.


In this live episode of ONstage BukekaStyle sits down with Willie D. Burton, the legendary production sound mixer behind Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the first narrative film ever shot entirely on IMAX. Willie is the first Black person to win an Academy Award for Best Sound, a two-time Oscar winner for Bird and Dreamgirls, and the ears behind films you already love, from The Shawshank Redemption and Se7en to Oppenheimer.

We go past the technical and into the man. The road from Tuscaloosa, Alabama to the top of Hollywood sound. What it took to be first. And how he keeps innovating on the biggest sets in the world.

This is not a documentary about him. This is a conversation with him. Live.
