Chixculub

Based on a story in the New Yorker by T.C. Boyle, exec produced by Wolfgang Petersen and shot in 35 mm on the Warner lot, this film was heady stuff to work on. But the best thing about Chicxulub was meeting and working with the director Malona Voigt.

Musically, she pushed for a minimalist aesthetic that could turn lush or violent in a split second. She knew what she wanted (some cues were approved on the first draft, while one cue went through over ten iterations), and she was always able to communicate her intent beautifully.

She’s also living proof that you don’t have to be aggressive or overbearing to make a great movie. Her strength comes from her thoughtfulness and her trust in the instincts of those she surrounds herself with. A great director, and great person.
