Braden Creel is a talented sound designer whose skils have steadily elevated the emotional and atmospheric impact of the short films he’s worked on. With a keen ear for nuance and a strong grasp of storytelling, Creel has become an essential creative force in recent collaborations.

In Tim Martin’s comedic drama,, ‘Sushi‘ about a fishy accident and an estranged friendship, Creel’s subtle sound layering enhances both the awkward silences and the comedic beats, grounding the emotional shifts between levity and sincerity.

In the horror short ‘Whispers‘, Creel’s sound takes a darker turn, imbuing the film with an unnerving atmosphere that elevates its visuals. The ambient textures give the film its most potent chills, transforming ordinary scenes into moments of paranoia and dread. Where the narrative leaves emotional gaps, Creel’s audio work steps in – building tension through perfectly timed moments of silence that heighten the suspense. His contribution not only supports the story but often becomes its most gripping element, steering the audience’s psychological engagement.

Creel’s most striking work to date arguably comes in Tim Martin’s ‘The Ones Across the Pond‘, where his sound design delivers skilled atmospheric tension. The slow-burn pacing of the story is matched beat-for-beat by a creeping soundscape that blends natural ambient noises with uncanny, otherworldly undertones. Braden Creel proves himself a versatile talent – one whose talented attention to audio detail increasingly defines the emotional resonance of the stories he helps tell.
