Dave Eichhorn

Dave is a multiple award-winning filmmaker, editor, and sound designer with more than 35 years
in the business and over 300 credits on feature films, network TV shows, documentaries and
commercials. To date, he's earned 3 Primetime Emmys, 12 Emmy nominations, 5 MPSE
Golden Reel awards, 15 Golden Reel nominations, and an RIAA Gold Record. Dave's resume
includes projects for Disney, Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Universal, NBC, Showtime, Hallmark &
many more, and his rather unusual but comprehensive skill set has landed him work with a
who's who list of top-name Hollywood producers & directors, including Jon Voight, Ernest
Dickerson, Betty Thomas, Jon Turtletaub & Keenan Ivory Wayans.
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Dave was fascinated with photography, movies, & sound
recording -- and he admittedly spent a lot of what he calls "nerdy alone time" creating audio skits
and short films. At the age of 21, on the advice of his film school professor, he drove himself to
Los Angeles. Armed with a barely-there resume, he started 'sneaking thru the gates' of the
major studios - a feat that was much easier then than it is now. His first big break was editing
hour-long documentaries for National Geographic. A short time later he grabbed the opportunity
to become Hollywood's youngest supervising sound editor, responsible for managing the entire
audio post process for features & TV shows. Part of that job involved directing A-list talent on
the ADR stage - including Robert Duvall, Viggo Mortenson, Amanda Plummer, Peter Fonda and
James Garner.
Dave's directing credits include docs, commercials, and the upcoming "Two State Devil" with
Eric Roberts. "Guys Night" will be his first drama dealing with the subject of divorce. I grew up
with divorced adults all around me; parents, grandparents, and my uncle, who was a 3-timer.
And in my 40's I became one. So I definitely feel qualified to translate this amazing story to the
screen."
