People

We’re Rancho Fantastico Post.

We know. It’s a ridiculously long name to type.
Should have given it a bit more thought.
But when we set up shop in 2014,
it was the only name we could all agree on.

We do post-production sound and picture.
We like to take ownership of what we work on.
Where there’s an opportunity to elevate, we will.
Fill the room. Reframe a shot. Establish a look.
Our clients like that.

Looking for people who can’t help
being invested in what you’re making?
Well then, hello.
Here we are.

Jasen Marks

Finishing Editor / Colourist

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Finding the perfect moments between frames and coaxing the best out of pixels means Jasen hasn't worked since 1998. He once wisely noticed that client sessions with either Mike or John's final stereo mix resulted in practically no picture notes.

Recognized in 2022 as a top 0.005% global listener of The Bee Gees.

Mike Rowland, Audio Guru at Rancho Fantastico
Mike Rowland

Audio Guru

With thousands of hours recording, editing, mixing Radio, TV, Film, Documentary, Animation, Network Branding, Corporate, Music and anything you can think of that has audio, Mike continues doing what he loves best into his golden years.

From Studio 306 / Sounds Interchange to Discovery, Deschamps, and co-owner of Wanted / Saucer and now Rancho Fantastico, Mike still digs it. A less than amazing foray into VO with Actra proves that he is best behind the desk and would like to thank all the amazing Voiceover artists he has been lucky to work with over the years who make his job so much easier.
