EDITOR
I am the Supervising Editor, Creative Director, and Co-Founder of WHEELHOUSE CREATIVE. We create many movie trailers, featurettes, tribute montages, and fundraising sizzles for our many clients. We also are shooting a ton of interview stuff. E me at Wheelhouse headquarters: jeremy@wheelhousenyc.com
In my editing career, I've edited 100+ theatrical trailers, including those for many essential indie, foreign, and documentary films of our times. (Fun fact: I've edited the trailers to six films that have won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. Six!) I’ve edited multiple feature docs. I've edited Oscar montages, Lifetime Achievements, and In Memoriams. I’ve been nom’d twice for Emmys, and won multiple Key Arts and Golden Trailer Awards.

I have been a guest lecturer or master class speaker at Columbia University Journalism School, NYU News&Doc, Montclair State, SUNY Purchase, Rollins College, Carthage College (Wisconsin), LIU Brooklyn, SVA, and DCTV. I am a two-time Special Visiting Guest Lecturer for ChileDoc in Santiago, Chile.
