ASSG 2015 Award winners

The ASSG Congratulates the Award Winners for 2015!

The 19th Australian Screen Sound Guild Awards were held on Sunday 22nd November at The Establishment Hotel Ballroom in George Street, Sydney.

Thank you to all the members and friends who attended – it turned out to be a fantastic event. We would especially like to thank those ASSG members who travelled from WA, SA and Victoria.

The Syd Butterworth Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to James Currie. ASSG president Doron Kippen presented the award to James, praising his work which has spanned 38 years, taking his craft from the field all the way through to the mixing stage. James is known for his work with Paul Cox and Rolf de Heer, on such films as Man of Flowers, Incident at Raven’s Gate and Bad Boy Bubby. James received a standing ovation from the entire room.

The Greg Bell Student Encouragement Award was given to Alex Gastrell, a recent North Sydney TAFE Graduate graduate.

The executive committee of the ASSG proudly congratulates the following winners in our nineteenth award year;
