“Lone Survivor” sound editor Wylie Stateman picked up his seventh Oscar nomination to date last month, though despite wonderful work in films like “Cliffhanger,” “Inglourious Basterds” and “Django Unchained,” he’s yet to win an Academy Award. He sat down with HitFix to discuss his approach to what you hear in Peter Berg’s war film.

“Lone Survivor” tells the harrowing story of SEAL Team 10 and Operation Red Wings, a tragic story of Afghanistan warfare captured with grit and realism by director Peter Berg. Berg, two of the film’s stars, Mark Wahlberg and Taylor Kitsch, and real life “lone survivor” Marcus Luttrell reflect on the event, the film, the cost of war and the responsibility of immortalizing it on film.

Peter Berg’s “Lone Survivor” tells the story of four Navy SEALS ambushed in an ill-fated covert mission to thwart a high0level Taliban operative.
