Editors - Mags Arnold, Brenna Rangott and Matt Chessé ACE

TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY editors Mags, Brenna and Matt had never worked together prior to uniting under showrunner Issa López for the fourth season of the HBO MAX anthology series, but you wouldn't know it from talking to them.  The camaraderie between the three and the fun they have is in stark contrast to the dark and dangerous tone of their hit show.

TRUE DE...

Editors - Joaquin Elizondo and Chris Cavanagh

The GRISELDA editing team of Joaquin Elizondo and Chris Cavanagh didn't have an easy time finding work when they first made their way to Hollywood, but through a mentor/mentee relationship built on a foundation of trust, they would eventually join forces on another drug war-themed Netflix show, NARCOS: MEXICO.  That NARCOS crew would go on to form the foundation of the team beh...

Editor - Greg O'Bryant

MR. AND MRS. SMITH editor, Greg O'Bryant was not just joining the biggest project of his career with this new Amazon series, but he would also be the "new guy" on a well-oiled machine of storytellers from the tv series, ATLANTA.  Taking the chance really paid off for Greg.  Not only did he get to try his hand at action, but he got to have his name in the credits twice (Greg also co-produced)!

Tom Costantino ACE, Blair Clark, Allie Mitchell and Justin Ulrich

Most of the VFX and editing team from Seth MacFarlane's Peacock original series TED should have known what they were in for when they signed on for the show.  Editor and assistant editor Tom Costantino ACE and Justin Ulrich had already been across the universe with MacFarlane for his cult sci-fi favorite, THE ORVILLE.  And VFX and puppeteering vet Blair Clar...

Editor - Michelle Tesoro, ACE

MAESTRO editor Michelle Tesoro is no stranger to cutting movies directed by actors.  In fact, it was while she was working with actor Sean Penn on his film FLAG DAY, that Penn turned to Michelle and told her that he just texted friend Bradley Cooper that she was a "goddess in the cutting room".  Clearly that pitch worked as Cooper entrusted Michelle with the editorial duties for his much-antic...

Editor - Jon Poll

THE COLOR PURPLE editor Jon Poll was sure they had the wrong guy when his agent told him they were interested in having him come aboard as the editor.  He even joked they should probably call WHIPLASH and LA LA LAND editor, Tom Cross ACE.  While musicals were not necessarily a big part of Jon's background coming into the project, no one who sees THE COLOR PURPLE would ever question his prowess for interwe...

Editor - Yorgos Mavropsaridis

POOR THINGS editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis was already an established editor when he first started collaborating with a young director named Yorgos Lanthimos.  At that point Lanthimos was only known for doing commercials, but by their third feature together, 2009's DOGTOOTH, the pair began to be recognized as a formidable storytelling team.  Over a decade later, they would finally take on what Yo...
