Editor - Greg O'Bryant EXTRAPOLATIONS editor, Greg O'Bryant has once again teamed up with writer/director Scott Z. Burns, this time to take on the challenge of creating an entertaining, educational and hopefully motivational series about the future effects of climate change.

Editors - Fred Raskin ACE and Greg D'Auria GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 3 editors Fred Raskin and Greg D'Auria find themselves in familiar territory; collaborating on a James Gunn project.

Editor - Kristi Shimek INVITATION TO A MURDER editor Kristi Shimek, like the protagonist of her new film, is not afraid of a challenge when it comes to figuring out how to piece a complex story together. Having already amassed a credit list that is both long and varied, Kristi is equally comfortable cutting a classic whodunnit as she is with a rom-com or a grizzly horror flick. Part of that comfort may come from feeling at home, quite literally and figuratively, with the her frequent director and

Editors - Laura Jennings and Adam Gerstel Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania editors Laura Jennings and Adam Gerstel jumped in with both feet when director Peyton Reed suggested that he wanted to have a "unified" cutting room unlike any Marvel movie that had come before. The result? A director's cut driven by two editors, one Avid, a pair of dueling Bluetooth keyboards, and no regrets! In Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, which officially kicks off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,

Shotgun Wedding

Editor - Doc Crotzer, ACE SHOTGUN WEDDING editor Doc Crotzer ACE has plenty of experience cutting comedy, but most of that came from his ACE Eddie-nominated work on the hit tv series, GLEE. Prior to SHOTGUN WEDDING, Doc's only real studio feature film experience was in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy film, CHAOS WALKING (2021); which didn't exactly afford him the opportunity to go for laughs. That all changed with his sophomore feature film effort, the new action comedy SHOTGUN WEDDING. SHOTGUN WEDDING sees

More often he can be found getting in some exercise in the cutting room or on the hiking trails. So he was just as surprised as anyone when the trailer for his Blumhouse horror movie about a "killer robot doll" blew up on the social media site most famous for showcasing lousy dancing and eating challenges. But what should be no surprise is that Jeff's considerable

Rivkin was on hand for the original, record-shattering film that spawned what would become a fantasy franchise.

Editor - Sven Budelmann ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT editor Sven Budelmann knew he was in for a challenge in remaking the classic German anti-war novel.

Fortunately Sven would be collaborating with a director with whom he was quiet familiar. Prior to this project, Sven had worked with director
