It’s been a long time coming but Costa Rica can now claim an Oscar-nominated below-the-line talent, sound and music editor Felipe Pacheco, who was recognized for his sound editing work on Ryan Coogler’s multi-Oscar winning “Sinners.”

Based in Los Angeles, he moved there after earning a degree in film scoring at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. His extraordinary credits include Christopher Nolan’s epic Imax 70mm blockbuster “The Odyssey” and Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer,” “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” and Coogler’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” In television, he worked on Ben Stiller’s “Severance,” which snagged him an Emmy nomination.
