Growing up in the bay area, it wasn't unusual for Michael Koff to poke around film sets from a young age trying to get a glimpse of a set. It wasn't until studying abroad in his junior year of college that he got his first taste, with MTV Europe, running cable for their sound guy on a live weekly show. When returning stateside, Koff hit the ground running and moved to Los Angeles to chase the dream.

Koffy has been fortunate to travel to over fifty countries as Sound Mixer and thrives on difficult location recording.

IATSE Local #695 & 479 Shirley Libby became hooked on sound during a college break while working for a radio station in Wichita, Kansas and ended up changing her major to Radio/TV/Film. Recording sound for films was in her future. After working as a still photographer in Atlanta she began working on film sets as photographer which led her back to what she really wanted and loved - sound - where she began as a boom operator. Getting clear dialogue is a constant challenge and requires skill and adaptability. With the advent of multiple cameras and the love affair of the wireless microphones, added to noisy wardrobe and props, to the ever increasing noise level of the world, a mixer has to make instant decisions regarding microphones, using the boom mics effectively and picking the right piece of equipment. Shirley takes pride in and loves being an important part of a film or television team of widely diverse professionals, with everyone doing their piece of the film as expertly as possible. Shirley has lived in Atlanta for many years, well before it became the shooting hub it is now.
