Jamie Kirkpatrick, ACE
editor
Hey there. Thanks for checking out my site. I’m a New York-based editor and filmmaker. Here's a nifty third-person bio about me:
Jamie Kirkpatrick’s true passion for editing began the day he was allowed to sit in on an editing session with Steven Spielberg and witnessed how the director was able to re-structure a mediocre dialogue scene into a laugh-out-loud moment in the film.
In his 20-plus years in editing, Jamie has made a concerted effort to hone his craft by working across all genres of cinema. This is reflected in his diverse filmography which includes Dave Chappelle’s Block Party, Lost in Translation, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete (one of Michelle Obama's favorite films - Google it.) and the critically acclaimed indie hit, My Friend Dahmer.
Recent editing credits include John Leguizamo's directorial debut Critical Thinking, the Western Old Henry, the cinematic musical Beau, as well as the upcoming A Problem of Providence starring Lily James, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Himesh Patel.
His enthusiasm for cinematic storytelling is matched only by his dedication to the craft of film editing, his encyclopedic knowledge of the works of Krzysztof Kieslowski and his well-documented weakness for a good doughnut. He has also worked extensively in network television and commercials and has directed two short films, The Regular and Squeeze.
