My name is Fred and typically go by Freddie. I'm an assistant editor and editor, primarily in features, streaming and on documentaries. On a recent show, I had an opportunity to work with David Fincher's amazing editorial crew on Mindhunter. I've also gotten to work on great shows like Blonde for Netflix, Into The Dark for Hulu, No Activity for CBS and Heaven's Gate for HBO Max.
I started working in television in my hometown, Chicago. I initially started as a Technical Director for my church's live broadcast on WCIU-TV when I was 9. This eventually led to working in the sports department for WGN-TV. I also PA'd on the Suicide Squad 2nd unit shoots, as well as PA'ing on Southside With You feature production that also took place in Chicago. I moved to LA to assist on features and scripted dramas, but was lucky enough to first work in the commercial and trailer-world. This helped bolster my short-form editing skills. Ultimately wanting to work in narrative, I decided it was time to switch genres and pursue a new path. On a recent show, I had an opportunity to work with David Fincher's amazing editorial crew on Mindhunter. I was also assigned to work on final VFX comps, correcting dead pixels in Baselight and through matte paintings in After Effects.
I'm continuously working on my editing craft and recently had an opportunity to edit together riot and protest footage surrounding the ongoing movement, which I set to Nina Simone's "Everything Must Change". Here's a link if you have 3 minutes to checkout this very moving and surreal video. https://www.frededits.com/all#1
Working in narrative post-production has been a long-time goal of mine and I take pride, everyday, in learning how to be more efficient as well as see how professional editors cut. I’m eager both to learn and share my skill set.
