Dave McMoyler's versatility as a supervising sound editor was developed in part by his early career as a writer, editor and producer of documentary films. He developed a keen ear for unique sound design while enrolled in film studies at Humboldt State University - leading him exclusively into the field of sound supervision in 1985. Whether shooting ADR, running Foley sessions, field-recording or creating specially designed sound elements, Dave maintains a high level of creative and technical performance that typifies a "hands on" approach to sound supervision. Dave's credits encompass a remarkable spectrum of films, including THE MASK OF ZORRO (1998), THE SIXTH MAN (1997), HOMEWARD BOUND (1993), THE CROW (1994), IMMORTAL BELOVED (also 1994) and THE SCARLET LETTER (1995). McMoyler shared Emmy® Awards for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Miniseries or a Special in 1989 for "Lonesome Dove" and in 1991 for "Son of the Morning Star". His contributions to the following films helped them acquire several prestigious awards and nominations: CLIFFHANGER (1993) (Academy Award® nomination), JFK (1991) (British Academy Award, Academy Award nomination and Golden Reel Award nomination) and THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992) (Academy Award, Golden Reel Award nomination and British Academy Award nomination).
