James M. Willis

I'm an experienced Houston sound mixer and sound supervisor with over 20 years of location sound experience. In the first four years of my career I was mentored by Bill Moffett of Moffett Productions and mastered the art of producing radio and TV commercials for local and national clients. For the past 16 years I have focused mixing location sound for documentaries, narrative films, commercials, and corporate video.

I enjoy long-format documentary work in remote locations such as Kuwait, Alaska, and Mexico. It's work that demands planning for tough conditions, equipment failure, and competent file management and backup. I've worked on documentaries involving astronauts, billionaires, addiction, at-risk youth, immigration, and other sensitive subjects. I'm comfortable in most situations as long as crew safety is a priority.
