The Climb’s shoot is approaching and the second we wrap, I’ll be putting my editing hat on once again.  I’m very excited! I love editing movies.

Besides the odd film project, I’ve been a professional editor working full time in television for nearly 5 years now.

Time flies.

Editing sports for a living is definitely a dream job that I absolutely adore. Creating new content for live television in a fast paced environment is extremely satisfying and addictive.

It gives me a chance to be creative everyday while surrounded by the sporting events I would be watching whether I’m at work or not.

But I’m also passionate about editing films.

For me it begins with the need to tell a story. As a screenwriter, I accomplish this through my scripts but editing countless hours of footage into an entertaining movie is incredibly fun and challenging.

There’s something about finishing a scene and being extremely proud of the work you accomplished.  Even if it’s not quite perfect, editing is much like rewriting a screenplay and I’m obsessed with both.

Playing Through was the last short film I edited. It took about 2 months to lock the final cut and I had an absolute blast.  I miss it.

Whether it’s television or movies, you have so many choices and directions to take a project. It’s almost hypnotizing to be able to sift through multiple takes and sculpt the best movie you can.

It’s been a while since my iMac saw some action. I think it’s time I changed that.

It begins with The Climb.
