Editor - Otto Burnham
Editor Otto Burnham took on the job for SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY knowing that he wouldn't be lacking for source material on his subject. Rather, the challenge would lie in processing the countless hours of material from Reeve's work and his life to find the real superhero within.
Directed by Ian BonhĂŽte and Peter Ettedgui, who co-wrote the script with Otto, SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY is an intimate view into the life of actor Christopher Reeve. The film chronicles his rise to stardom upon landing the role of Superman in the 1970's, as well as the dramatic turn his life takes when a horse-riding accident leaves him paralyzed in 1995. Through home movies and interviews with those closest to Reeve, the audience is shown a side of this super man they've never seen before.
Otto BurnhamIn his own words, award-winning (ACE Eddie, EmmyÂź and RTS) editor Otto Burnham describes himself as, "comfortable with the story telling and creative demands of broadcast TV, feature documentary, commercials and music videos. I love collaborating on films which focus on dramatic, emotional stories or difficult, challenging topics. With every project, I bring a high level of speed, skill and enthusiasm to my work. I have also shot and directed my own work and cut an award-winning feature documentary in my spare time".

Editor, Jeff Groth ACE
JOKER: FOLIE Ă DEUX editor, Jeff Groth ACE had a tough act of his own to follow, coming off of his ACE Eddie and Oscar nominated work on Todd Phillips' JOKER (2019), but follow it he did.
Directed by Todd Phillips from a screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Silver, the sequel follows failed comedian Arthur Fleck as he struggles with his dual identity. While incarcerated at Arkham State Hospital as he awaits his trial, Arthur meets the love of his life, Harley Quinn.
JEFF GROTH, ACEHaving worked previously with Phillips on such films as THE HANGOVER III (2013) and WAR DOGS(2016), with JOKER Jeff not only started making a name for himself as an editor to be recognized, but also proved his mettle as a filmmaker who could deftly craft stories about complex characters and their descent into desperation; a skill that came in quite handy on the dark and delicate aspects of the Russo Brothers' CHERRY (2021) and JOKER: FOLIE Ă DEUX.

Editor - Marco Costa
CHALLENGERS editor Marco Costa knew one thing going into Luca Guadagnino's recent tennis movie, and that's that Luca didn't know anything about tennis. Luca would explain to Marco that this film isn't about tennis. The incredibly kinetic action in the tennis sequences that Marco cut say otherwise.
CHALLNEGERS stars ZENDAYA as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Tashi is married to Art, a champion on a losing streak. Tashiâs strategy for her husbandâs redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrickâ Artâs former best friend and Tashiâs former boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win?
Marco CostaEditor Marco Costa first joined the cinematic world of Luca Guadagnino as a second assistant under editor Walter Fasano on Lucaâs film, SUSPIRIA (2018). Marco would go on to be the lead editor on Lucaâs film BONES AND ALL (2022), as well as his tv series, WE ARE WHO WE ARE (2020). Following CHALLENGERS, Luca and Marco have since worked together on QUEER (2024) and are currently working on the film AFTER THE HUNT.

Editor - Cam McLauchlin
MEGALOPOLIS editor Cam McLauchlin had no idea what was waiting for him on the other side when he knocked on Francis Ford Coppola's door. Now that Coppola's decades-in-the-making passion project has become a "surreality", McLauchlin still can't quite explain everything that took place in the making of this film. One thing is clear to Cam however, this was Francis's vision and Francis IS "Cesar Catalina".
MEGALOPOLIS takes place in a somewhat alternate universe, where New York City is New Rome, and stars Adam Driver as Caesar Catalina, a brilliant artist, who somehow has the ability to stop time and has developed a magical substance called MEGALON that can be used to build a utopian city of the future. Caesar is at odds with the greedy mayor of New Rome, Franklyn Cicero. Between them is his daughter Julia Cicero, her loyalty divided between her father and her beloved.
CAM McLAUCHLINAs a film & television editor based out of Toronto and Los Angeles, Cam's career began in Toronto working as an assistant editor for Guillermo Del Toro on PACIFIC RIM, THE STRAIN, CRIMSON PEAK and eventually as an associate editor on SHAPE OF WATER. Cam also edited the horror cult classic, THE VOID with alumni from Canadian film production and directing company, Astron-6. Other selected work includes; Max Minghella's feature debut musical, TEEN SPIRIT and Dogme 95 member, Lone Schefrig's KINDNESS OF STRANGERS. Cam is currently doing an extended cut on NIGHTMARE ALLEY with director Guillermo Del Toro.

Editor and Author - Steve Hullfish, ACE
This is the second volume of the widely acclaimed Art of the Cut book published in 2017. This follow-up text expands on its predecessor with wisdom from more than 360 interviews with the worldâs best editors (including nearly every Oscar winner from the last 30 years).
Because editing is a highly subjective art form, and one that is critical to the success of motion picture storytelling, it requires side-by-side comparisons of the many techniques and solutions used by a wide range of editors from around the world. That is why this book compares and contrasts methodologies from a wide array of diverse voices and organizes that information so that it is easily digested and understood.
There is no one way to approach editorial problems, so this book allows readers to see multiple solutions from multiple editors. The interviews contained within are carefully curated into topics that are most important to film editors and those who aspire to become film editors. The questions asked, and the organization of the book, are not merely an academic or theoretical view of the art of editing but rather the practical advice and methodologies of actual working film and TV editors, bringing benefits to both students and professional readers.
The book is supplemented by a collection of downloadable online exclusive chapters, which cover additional topics ranging from Choosing the Project to VFX. In addition to the supplementary chapters, access to the full-color, full-resolution images printed in the bookâand other exclusive imagesâis included.
Steve Hullfish, ACESteve has been editing professionally since 1984. He has edited theatrical feature films, (including Courageous, War Room, and Overcomer), TV series (including The Oprah Winfrey Show), and documentaries. He is the author of six other books on editing and post-production. He has taught editing to students and professionals all over the world, and his books have been translated into numerous languages. His work has also been published in post-production trade journals worldwide.

Jake Roberts ACE, Will Files, Polly McKinnon and Lee Gilmore
Although the ALIEN: ROMULUS postproduction team of Jake Roberts ACE, Will Files, Polly McKinnon and Lee Gilmore came into this project with a wealth of knowledge and experience amongst them, they still learned a thing or two from director Fede Ălvarez, including Fede's not-so-secret formula for jump scares, as well as the notion that clear dialogue isn't always as important as gripping action. Plus, they reveal the hidden intent of Ălvarez to split ALIEN and ALIENS into the two sides of the REMUS/ROMULUS space station.
ALIEN: ROMULUS is the ninth installment in the Alien franchise, set between the events of ALIEN (1979) and ALIENS (1986). The film follows a group of downtrodden young space colonists in pursuit of better life conditions. During the course of their escape from endless servitude on a mining colony, they encounter hostile creatures while scavenging a derelict space station.
JAKE ROBERTS, ACEAfter his work on CITADEL (2012), STARRED UP (2013), THE RIOT CLUB (2014) and BROOKLYN (2015), Roberts earned an Oscar nomination for Best Film Editing for his work on HELL OR HIGH WATER (2016) starring Chris Pine. The movie also garnered him a nomination for an Independent Spirit Award. Roberts then cut OUTLAW KING (2018) for Netflix directed by David Mackenzie. He then began collaborating with director Alex Garland, editing his 2020 miniseries DEVS as well as his film, MEN (2022). Prior to ALIEN: ROMULUS, Jake cut Garland's CIVIL WAR (2024).
WILL FILESWill Files is known for his work on THE INVISIBLE MAN (2020), VENOM (2018), WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (2017), STAR WARS: EPISODE VII â THE FORCE AWAKENS (2017) and CLOVERFIELD (2008).
POLLY McKINNONPolly McKinnon is known for DISTRICT 9 (2009), FORD V FERRARI (2019) and INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (2023). In 2019 she won a Golden Reel Award for her sound editing on EXTINCTION (2018).

Editor - Eliot Knapman
FURIOSA editor Eliot Knapman is no stranger to the post-apocalyptic postproduction of a Mad Max movie, having previously worked as ACE editor Margaret "Margie" Sixel's second assistant on MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. For director George Miller's latest film in the franchise, not only was Eliot tapped to be co-editor with Sixel, but was there on set with Miller throughout production doing the first assembly under what had to be fun, but arduous, conditions.
FURIOSA is the fifth installment in Miller's Mad Max franchise, and the first not focused on series protagonist Max Rockatansky, instead acting as both a spin-off prequel to MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (2015) and an origin story for the Fury Road character Furiosa, portrayed by both Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne in the prequel. Set 15 to 20 years before the events of Fury Road, the film follows the title character's life for over a decade, from her kidnapping by the forces of warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) to her ascension to the rank of Imperator.
Eliot Knapman Prior to moving up to the editor's chair on FURIOSA, Eliot worked as a first assistant on such films as THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING (2022) and THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE (2017), and as a second assistant on films like MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (2015) and THE GREAT GATSBY (2013).

BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F editor Dan Lebental not only took on the daunting task of bringing back a beloved character that audiences haven't seen in thirty years, but he did it with one hand. The other was working simultaneously on another Bruckheimer blockbuster, BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE. With the help of his long-time assistant, Dawn Michelle King, and his trusty "embedded sound design" workflow, Dan was able to pull off making both films in fine style.
BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F sees the titular hero return to Beverly Hills to aid his adult daughter after her life is threated when she gets too close to a crime ring being investigated by Axel's old friend, Billy Rosewood.
DAN LEBENTAL Editor Dan Lebental ACE seems to be the man to call when it's time for big laughs and big action. Aside from the many films Dan has done in the MCU, including IRON MAN, IRON MAN 2, ANT MAN, SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME, and SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, Dan's work can also be found in ELF, BAD BOYS FOR LIFE, BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

THE SYMPATHIZER editor Viks Patel was a fan of director Park Chan-wook long before they ever teamed up to work on their new MAX series.

Back together again on THE SYMPATHIZER, the two joined creative forces to bring Viet Thanh Nguyen's book to the small screen in a big way.
Based on Viet Thanh Nguyenâs Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Sympathizer is an espionage thriller and cross-culture satire about the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles, where he learns that his spying days aren't over.

Editor Sandra Adair, ACE and assistant editor Carissa Bronson
HIT MAN editor Sandra Adair, ACE is no stranger to working with writer/director Richard Linklater. The two first collaborated on Linklater's debut studio feature, DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993). Over the next thirty years they would go on to make the "Before" trilogy - BEFORE SUNRISE (1995), BEFORE SUNSET (2004), BEFORE MIDNIGHT (2013), as well as the over-a-decade-in-the-making BOYHOOD (2014), for which Sandra would receive an OscarÂź nomination for Best Film Editing. Someone else Sandra has had by her side in the cutting for several years is assistant editor Carissa Bronson, who first worked with Sandra on her documentary, THE SECRET LIFE OF LANCE LETSCHER (2017).
The somewhat true story of HIT MAN tells the tale of Gary Johnson, who is a professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of New Orleans, while also working undercover with the New Orleans Police Department to assist in undercover sting operations. When Jasper, a fellow cop who portrays fake hitmen to solicit murder-for-hire confessions and payments from âcustomers,â is suspended, Gary is unwillingly ushered into the role. Gary quickly finds himself to be a natural in garnering solicitations, going so far as to research suspects in advance and tailor a unique persona for each one. Things take a big turn for Gary when he meets Madison, a beautiful woman who tries to contract "Ron" (Gary) to kill her abusive husband.
SANDRA ADAIR, ACESandra Adair is known for her work on BOYHOOD (2014), BERNIE (2012), SCHOOL OF ROCK (2003), and the cult classic DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993). Adair is also known for her work on the critically acclaimed 'Before' trilogy, BEFORE SUNRISE (1995), BEFORE SUNSET (2004) and BEFORE MIDNIGHT (2013). Adair made her directorial debut with the feature documentary, THE SECRET LIFE OF LANCE LETSCHER (2017).

Editor - Peter H. Oliver
BABY REINDEER editor Peter Oliver had just one word to describe Richard Gadd's script when he first read it. That word was "wow"! Viewers of the hit Netflix series can certainly relate to that reaction as the show has resonated with audiences for its ability to delicately blend humor and pathos.
Created by and starring Richard Gadd, BABY REINDEER is adapted from Gadd's autobiographical one-man show. It tells the story of aspiring comedian Donny Dunn, who works as a bartender in a London pub. One fateful day, Donny offers a cup of tea to a customer, Martha, to cheer her up. Martha develops a strong attachment to Donny and starts coming to the bar every day. Her fascination and attraction to Donny rapidly descends into Martha harassing Donny online and in person.
PETER H. OLIVERPrior to his work on BABY REINDEER, Peter Oliver's editing talents were on display in series such as THE BILL (2005-09), BAD EDUCATION (2013), RED DWARF (2016-17), and GOLDIE'S OLDIES (2021). Peter's work can next be seen in the upcoming Netflix series, ERIC (2024) starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Editor ElĂsabet RonaldsdĂłttir, ACE and assistant editor Matt Absher
The Fall Guy editing team of editor ElĂsabet RonaldsdĂłttir, ACE and assistant editor Matt Absher once again find themselves in the cutting room of a David Leitch action spectacular. With this film being the fifth the trio has worked on together; their postproduction process is like a highly coordinated stunt sequence.
THE FALL GUY, directed by David Leitch from a script written by Drew Pearce, is loosely based on the 1980's TV series about a stuntman who moonlights as a bounty hunter. The film version follows a stuntman (Ryan Gosling) working on his ex-girlfriend's (Emily Blunt) directorial debut action film, only to find himself involved in a conspiracy surrounding the film's lead actor (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
ELĂSABET RONALDSDĂTTIR, ACEElĂsabet RonaldsdĂłttir is an award winning tv and film editor, who has worked on over 50 feature films, television programs, documentaries, as well as animated features. She is best known for her collaborations with film directors David Leitch for BULLET TRAIN (2023), JOHN WICK (2014), ATOMIC BLONDE (2017), DEADPOOL 2 (2018) and Baltasar KormĂĄkur for JAR CITY (2006), THE SEA (2002) and CONTRABAND (2012).
Although ElĂsabet edited various movies throughout her career, she developed international recognition for her ability to balance humor and seriousness in action features. She built her international prominence by editing CONTRABAND (2012) and later JOHN WICK (2014), which also began her career-long partnerships with Baltasar KormĂĄkur and David Leitch. She first started in the industry by editing Icelandic tv programs, shows, and films.
ElĂsabet is also actively participating and changing the industry. She is a founding member and two-term inaugural chairwoman of Women in Film & Television Iceland (WIFT Iceland). In addition, ElĂsabet has sat on the Icelandic Producers Guild board and served for two years as chairwoman of The Icelandic Film & TV Academy in 2005 and 2006. Since 2007 ElĂsabet has been a board member of the prominent Filmmakers at ReykjavĂk International Film Festival (RIFF). Born and raised in Reykjavik Iceland, ElĂsabet is graduate of the London Film School.
MATT ABSHERAssistant editor Matt Absher has been ElĂsabet RonaldsdĂłttir's right hand man in the cutting room for seven films spanning eleven years. In addition to their most recent work on David Leitch's THE FALL GUY, the two collaborated on; THE MISSIONARY (2013), JOHN WICK (2014), ATOMIC BLONDE (2017), DEADPOOL 2 (2018), SHANG-CHI and THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS (2021) and KATE (2021).
