Supervising sound editor Anthony “Chic” Ciccolini, III, a longtime collaborator of Ron Howard’s, will receive the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Career Achievement Award during the 69th MPSE Golden Reel Awards, a virtual event scheduled to be held on March 13. He has served as supervising sound editor on a dozen films directed by Howard, including best picture and best director Oscar winner “A Beautiful Mind,” as well as titles such as “Parenthood,” “Far and Away,” “Apollo 13,” “Cinderella Man,” “The Da Vinci Code,” “Frost/Nixon” and “Angels and Demons.” As previously announced, during the awards presentation MPSE will additionally honor Howard with its annual Filmmaker Award. Originally from Fort Lee, New Jersey, the U.S., Ciccolini attended New York’s School of Visual Arts and, encouraged by his father, editor Chic Ciccolini, Sr., got his start as a “can carrier” for film companies in Manhattan. “From the heart-pounding excitement of “Apollo 13” to the infectious wit of “Sex and the City,” Chic Ciccolini has consistently found imaginative ways to enrich stories with sound,” said MPSE president Mark Lanza. “He puts his heart and soul into every project and has served as a generous mentor to many of his industry peers.” (SD-Agencies) |
