‘Nomadland’ Production Sound Mixer Michael Wolf Snyder Dies at 35
Variety ^ | 03/06/2021 | Marc Malkin

“Nomadland” production sound mixer Michael Wolf Snyder has died by suicide, according his father, David Snyder. He was 35.

Snyder’s body was found in his Queens, N.Y. apartment by his father on March 1 after friends and family had not heard from him for several days.

David, a psychiatrist, posted a message on Facebook on March 4. “Michael took his own life sometime in the last week and wasn’t discovered until I went to check on him Monday after he had dropped out of contact for several days,” he wrote. “He has suffered from Major Depression for many years. For most people, this is an illness that waxes and wanes over the years. I’m sure it was difficult for Michael that he spent most of the last year alone in his small, Queens apartment, being responsible about dealing with the coronavirus. In spite of this, we all believed he was doing well, and for most of this past year I think he was. He seemed especially joyful and invigorated in these last few months since he was able to return to work on several different film projects. He was certainly thrilled about all of the accolades for Nomadland and told us many happy stories about his work on the film and the amazing people he got to spend time with.”

Snyder also worked with “Nomadland” director Chloé Zhao on 2017’s “The Rider.” During ‘The Rider,’ Wolf suggested an idea we later took onto ‘Nomadland’ — recording room tones longer than we need as a chance to experience silence."

Hollywood had their 2 best years before Covid. Never assume your preference is universal.

Doesn’t sound like he was out of work.

No one has ever told their families what they wanted to hear. /s

So, this death notice is just to get "buzz" for Nomadland?   "Never waste an opportunity" they say.   Name another "sound mixer" we have never heard of on any other video production.

Anyway, Rest in price, Michael Wolf Snyder.   Your name is still working for them from the other side.

Most of us, at this age no longer have parents, brothers, sisters or uncles. Sadly, I have to how to live alone in the world. My entire family has died. It is a major struggle to live alone each day.

Gee, why was a 35 year old guy alone in an apartment staring at the walls for a year. Hmmm. Might want to ask the tyrant Mayor and Governor that one.
