How the sounds of Roma were created

Mexican sound designer Sergio Díaz has been nominated for Best Sound Editing at this year's Academy Awards for his work in Roma, a movie that traced the 1970s childhood memories of director Alfonso Cuarón. Sergio spent 18 months collecting the sounds that transported the viewers back to 70s Mexico, often waiting for days when the city was deserted, like Christmas day, to get those special recordings. Outlook’s Clayton Conn went to meet him.
