Editor

In his eighteen years as a professional editor Don has worked on a wide variety of projects including narrative films, documentaries, reality shows, commercials, music videos, and branded entertainment.

His recent narrative work includes Anna Margaret Hollyman’s comedy Maude (Sundance), Travis Mathews’ experimental thriller Discreet (Berlinale), James Bryan’s lost-for-25-years horror/comedy Jungle Trap (Fantastic Fest), Yen Tan’s drama Pit Stop (Sundance; Nominee, John Cassavetes Independent Spirit Award), and John Bryant’s award-winning dark comedy The Samaritans (SXSW).

In addition to his work on critically-acclaimed and award-winning films, he also cut CNN’s critically-acclaimed, Emmy-nominated docu-series High Profits, two seasons of the post-apocalyptic science fiction drama Day 5 for Rooster Teeth, and several seasons of A&E’s highly-rated reality show Shipping Wars as well as programs for TLC and The Discovery Channel.
