Jamie Kirkpatrick

Editor, also producer

Jamie Kirkpatrick, ACE has been an integral part of New York's independent film scene for over twenty years. His diverse filmography includes such notable titles as Lost in Translation, Dave Chappelle's Block Party, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete (which had a special screening at the Obama White House), My Friend Dahmer and John Leguizamo's critically-acclaimed, directorial debut Critical Thinking. Recent credits include the western Old Henry, the cinematic musical Beau and the highly anticipated comedic crime drama 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.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
