ATLANTA ― True Memoirs of an International Assassin is a comedy about a would-be author turned pseudo hit man. The movie stars Kevin James as an accountant who writes a book about a fictional killer-for-hire, which his publisher mistakenly prints and sells as a true story, thrusting him into a life of danger and hiding in Belize. As it is a satirical action flick, True Memoirs features several helicopter and car chase scenes. These conditions often prove difficult for audio capture due to the need for a high-quality, easily concealed audio solution, which the production team found with DPA Microphones’ d:screet 4098 Supercardiod Microphone.
