Motion Picture Sound Editors

Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOT : Motion Picture Sound Editors

Founded in 1953, Motion Picture Sound Editors (M.P.S.E.) is an honorary society of motion picture sound editors. The society's goals are to educate others about and increase the recognition of the sound editors, show the artistic merit of the soundtrack, and improve the professional relationship of its members. The society is not to be confused with an industry union, such as the I.A.T.S.E, of which a sound editor might be a part of. The current president is Bobbi Banks.
