We are excited to introduce the sixth featured guest for this year’s WIFI workshops!

Adin Replogle is a filmmaker and production sound mixer currently earning his Master of Fine Arts at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts in the Kevin Feige Division of Film & Television Production. As a producer and director, he has developed multiple narrative and documentary features, while his work in sound spans more than a dozen USC productions, including advanced narrative and thesis films.

Working extensively across production and post, Adin approaches sound as a storytelling tool that shapes tone, performance, and audience perception as deliberately as image. His experience ranges from production sound mixing to dialogue editing and final mixes, giving him a holistic understanding of how a film’s sonic identity is built from set through post. In addition to his work on set, he serves as a Student Assistant for USC’s Advanced Narrative course, where he mentors graduate filmmakers and teaches sound practices across multiple productions.

Adin’s foundation in filmmaking began at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, where he was deeply involved in the Washburn Filmmakers Association and the Washburn International Film Festival (WIFI). His early work in the Midwest continues to inform his collaborative, resourceful approach to production.

He is currently developing multiple feature projects while working professionally as a freelance production sound mixer.

Join us at WIFI for an exciting workshop with Adin, you don’t want to miss what he brings to the table!

Christian became connected with this film through the WIFI Film Festival at Washburn—where she spoke about “The Pulpit” in 2023 and later, “Film and Religion” in 2024. She values creativity more than her sleep and cannot wait to join such a dynamic team
