Curt Schulkey
DKA Alumnus from Alpha Chapter, 1975
& Supervising Sound Editor/Sound Designer
 Using sound to help movies convey their stories has been the mission of Curt’s career. On feature films and long-form series, the award-winning supervising sound editor applies his talents and experience to brighten, embellish, strengthen, and expand the stories, the performances, and the audience’s immersion in the film.
Curt has worked on films of all genres, budgets and scales. From “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” to “Good Night, and Good Luck,” to “Ted;” films excellent and films not-so-excellent, he has seen and heard and created and contributed. He has worked with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Sidney Pollack, Douglas Trumble, Quentin Tarantino, John Woo, Luc Besson, Spike Jonze, Christopher Nolan, George Clooney, George Miller, Baz Luhrman, and dozens more. He was the dialogue editor on animated films from Disney, Warner Bros. and Sony: the original versions of Aladin, Mulan, Space Jam, The Iron Giant, and co-supervised the sound on Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse.
Curt spent a few years working as a film editor – on titles less impressive.
In 2012 Curt added a moonlight job as lecturer at Loyola Marymount University, where he taught night courses in post-production sound until 2022.
In 2020 he wrote a textbook covering the Avid S6 mixing console: “Getting to Work on the Avid S6,” published by Focal Press.
Curt recently supervised the sound for the final 12 episodes of “The Sandman” for Netflix / Warner Bros, which began its run July 3 of this year.
As an undergraduate student at USC’s division of Cinema, Curt was involved with DKA Alpha chapter, as secretary, university film series curator, soda machine manager, and projectionist.
