The Sound Journey of “Greek Mothers Never Die”
At BOOM Post Audio, we’ve had the incredible opportunity to work alongside director and actress Rachel Suissa and her talented team on the highly anticipated indie film Greek Mothers Never Die. From the very first spotting session to the final mix, our team worked tirelessly to bring this heartfelt and captivating story to life through sound. And let us tell you—it was nothing short of a wonderful experience.
A Mix of Emotions: The Journey with Rachel Suissa
From the outset, we knew this project would be something special. Rachel’s deep, personal connection to the story was evident in every aspect of the production, especially the way she directed us through the sound process. As the director, Rachel infused her passion into every frame of the film, and it was truly an honor for us to collaborate with her and her team to ensure that the film’s audio complemented its emotional depth.
Together with Chris Basta, we worked hard to ensure that Greek Mothers Never Die would not just be heard, but felt—vividly, powerfully, and movingly. Every detail and layer of sound was meticulously crafted to evoke the perfect emotional response from the audience. We aimed for a result that didn’t just support the narrative but enhanced the experience of watching it.
Greek Mothers Never Die: A Story That Resonates
At its core, Greek Mothers Never Die is a poignant and darkly humorous exploration of family, self-discovery, and personal freedom. The story follows Ella, a lonely woman nearing her 36th birthday, who dreams of escaping her overbearing Greek mother and finding fulfillment in her own life. However, everything changes when her mother unexpectedly passes away—only to return as a neurotic, ghostly presence.
Ella finds herself haunted by her mother’s ghost, feeling lost and helpless, until the reappearance of Nick, her former lover. With his help, Ella embarks on a journey toward self-empowerment, love, and the freedom to define her own destiny. The film is a rich exploration of the complexities of family dynamics and the unique relationship between a Greek mother and daughter.
Meet the Director: Rachel Suissa
Rachel Suissa is a French-Greek actress, writer, and director whose personal experiences with her Greek heritage served as the foundation for Greek Mothers Never Die. Before this American independent feature film, Rachel had already made waves in the industry with her widely successful Netflix original, Dangerous Liaisons, a globally acclaimed hit.
This film, however, holds a more intimate connection to her roots, as it’s based on her real-life relationship with her Greek mother and the unique cultural context that shapes their interactions.
