2023/10/16

Editors - Varun Viswanath ACE and Patrick Tuck The RESERVATION DOGS editing team of Varun Viswanath ACE and Patrick Tuck have spent the last two of the show's three seasons, working together to close the loop on multiple, multi-generational stories. Considering that the focus was just on the four teens when Varun started the journey with the Season One pilot, this was no small feat. There was no roadmap as to how their lives and their stories would interconnect with the generations of "Rez Dogs"

Editors - Kevin D. Ross ACE, Eric Litman, Adam Pearson and Daniel Williams The ONE PIECE editing team knew full well, going into this live-action adaptation of the beloved manga series, that they had a huge challenge on their hands.

Editors - Nick Olah, Marissa Mueller and Ivan Victor ACE THE AFTERPARTY editors; Nick Olah, Marissa Mueller and Ivan Victor ACE, not only got to have fun with the classic "Roshomon" style of storytelling for the Apple TV + original series, but they also got to do it by paying homage to their favorite film genres and filmmakers. From erotic thrillers to film noir, from Hitchcock to Wes Anderson, no style and no "body" was spared in their comedy whodunnit. In Season Two of THE AFTERPARTY, Aniq (Sam

Jury Duty

The Rough Cut ·

2023/09/11

Editors - Diana Fishman, Adam Lichtenstein and Mary DeChambres ACE The JURY DUTY editing team had plenty of experience cutting unscripted tv before taking on the hit Freevee series. But is it actually an unscripted show? To hear their fellow JURY DUTY editor Steven Rosenthal tell it, they were "using the techniques of a reality show for the purposes of a sitcom". The end result is a series unlike any in either the unscripted or scripted comedy genres. JURY DUTY is a reality/sitcom tv series that

Editors - Justin Bourret ACE, Todd Zelin, Dave Canseco and Joseph Ettinger If THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES editors ever tire of working in postproduction, perhaps they can get a job at Cinnabon, because their cutting rooms have the unique distinction of being located in a mall. But considering how much fun the quartet has working on the show and with one another, that career change might just have to wait awhile. For now, audiences can enjoy three seasons of their hilarious work on MAX. THE RIGHTEOUS

Editors - Richie Edelson and Sarah Zeitlin The ABBOTT ELEMENTARY editing team of Richie Edelson and Sarah Zeitlin walked similar but separate paths in the early stages of their careers.
