the Harvey Girls”, to have the sound edited by Miik Dinko.
Co-produced with Thaddeus Homan the film explores how a dynamic
group of independent waitresses, the Harvey Girls, opened the
doors of the workplace to women and contributed to the development
of the American West.
Dave Nelson lectured at Stanford’s Documentary
film and video program on his “Sound for Film” curriculum.
It was a great opportunity for both Dave and the students to meet
and learn the latest in post-production sound.

graduate student Gretchen Hildebran brought her film “Out
In The Heartland” to Outpost Studios. Dave Nelson and Miik
Dinko dialogue edited, sound-designed, and mixed the film. The
film explores the effects of Kentucky's recent constitutional
