Welcome to Mr Steve Productions! My name is Stephen Goldsmith (AKA Mr Steve). I am a sound designer and educator (Click here for a selection of awards). I specialise in sound for feature films (Click here to verify 75 credits via imdb). I like fresh challenges and have quite a few other strings to my bow outside of Film and TV. Ask me if you want to know more!

I completed an MA in Sound Design for the Moving Image, moved to London and spent 15 years there, working first in audio Mastering and restoration (Mostly for Paramount’s back catalogue) and then throughout the location and post audio production chain. I have since moved to Adelaide with my family. Here I have my own studio and field recording equipment. I work on local, interstate and international content.

I spend about half my time working in tertiary education. I worked as a sound/educational consultant for the Guardian (UK),tutor for the Met Film School, eight years as a lecturer for UniSA and spent a fair part of 2025 writing course content and specing out new kit for Adelaide University. I will be working there starting in mid 2026. I enjoy all aspects of teaching. I learn as much from my students as I pass on to them.

This site has three functions:

1)Online CV: To quickly find out a bit about me as an individual, the services I offer and the prizes I have won, click along the tabs at the top.

You can verify my work using this imdb link or explore my LinkedIn Profile.

2) Audio blog. I like to write a little about the projects I have been working on and give updates on screenings, trailers etc.. Either scroll down or use tabs/tag cloud on the left to look up specific films.

3) Extras: A place to post and distribute some of my side projects from time to time.( I have written a couple of shorts and other sound based projects along the way)

I hope you enjoy the site.

Cheers,

Steve (Mr)

Songs Inside won ‘Best Documentary’ on its debut at the Adelaide Film Festival. It then picked up the ‘Documentary Australia Award’ at the Sydney Film Festival and was nominated for ‘Best Documentary Sound’ at the 2026 AACTAs. It is now viewable on iview on ABC Australia (Link available here). Trailer below:

 Quote taken from the Sydney Film Festival (Source viewable here):

“The winner of the SFF Best Documentary is Songs Inside – a portrayal of how, even in the most unlikely of circumstances, music can unexpectedly lift the hope and the lives of people. The film was so intimate and rewarding, we cared so much for its incarcerated characters, it completely touched our hearts.”

I worked alongside Tom Heuzenroeder (re-recording mixer/ sound designer) and Jakub Gaudasinski (orchestral mix engineer)  As well as editing the sync sound and supplying the sound effects and foley, I also supplied surround sound recordings I made of Adelaide Women’s Prison. I enjoyed working on this one. It was also a rare occurrence to make use of the ukuleles and double bass I have at home as Foley props!

Update 07/Feb/2026
