Bio
My name is Nihar Gagneja, and I'm a sound editor and mixer based in Chicago, IL. I have experience with dialogue and sound effects editing, re-recording mixing, and location sound. In the summer of 2021, I completed sound designing Chicago director Alex Thompson's sophomore feature Rounding (2022), assisting with the mixing process at Skywalker Sound.
I recently sound designed and mixed musician and filmmaker Eric Christopher Owen's debut feature Thirst, an understated horror/thriller about the mysterious spread of psychosis in a small town. I also work with the Austin-based post house Soundcrafter as a sound editor on broadcast TV content, including TLC's My 600-Lb. Life.
I'm also a location sound mixer and sound editor based in Chicago. I have experience across a variety of different content formats including commercial, documentary, and narrative. My past clients include Volkswagen and Vice Media.
