Set against the backdrop of World War II, "Breath" immerses viewers in the life of Shams, an intersex seamstress whose world unravels when her secret is exposed. The film's soundscape, crafted by Robert Mackenzie, envelops the audience in the intimate sounds of a small island community. Mackenzie's dual role as Sound Designer and Re-recording Mixer, alongside Glenn Humphries, brings a nuanced auditory experience that captures the tension and beauty of Shams' journey. Nominated for Best Film Sound Recording by the Australian Screen Sound Guild, the film's sound design intricately weaves the ambient whispers of the island with the emotional depth of its characters.
