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 (which had a special screening at the Obama White House), the critically acclaimed indie hit, My Friend Dahmer, and John Leguizamo's directorial debut Critical Thinking. Recent editing credits include the Western Old Henry, the international drama Line of Control and the comedic crime thriller Greedy People.
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.
