THE TEAM


Elizabeth Kenton
-Dialogue and ADR Supervisor




Elizabeth Kenton is a renowned and award nominated ADR and dialogue supervisor who has worked on over 40 feature films including TRAINING DAY, THE NOTEBOOK, and SUPERMAN RETURNS and with such amazing actors as Denzel Washington, Richard Gere, Bruce Willis, and Robin Williams to name just a few. Elizabeth's passion for OPEN YOUR EYES was a gift beyond price; when a technical error resulted in the dialogue from the OMF being usable and the time code on the HDCAM and DAT tapes not matching, she spent weeks editing and hand cutting all of the dialogue from the backup DAT tapes. Her passion as a dialogue and ADR supervisor comes through with her unwavering approach to never settling for less.
