Sherwood Jones

Editor

Sherwood started making films in Super 8 at the age of 11. His first films were based on the classic Gothic horror films of Universal, but as he explored cinematic possibilities, his films became more aesthetically daring, going from titles such as Return of Frankenstein to ones such as The Sins of the Children and My Plastic Sweetheart. Soon he was making sound films in high school that were as long as an hour in length. After winning a prize at the New River Mixed Media Gathering for his short film My Love, he moved on to study Broadcasting-Cinema at the University of North Carolina, then receive a Bachelor of Arts in Cinema & Photography at Southern Illinois University as well as a Master of Fine Arts degree at Ohio University. During this time, he won the annual student editing competition conducted by the American Cinema Editors, as well as won a Student Academy Award, Narrative Category, for his masters' thesis film, The Projectionist. He ventured into the film industry in post production, serving as editor, assistant editor, and post production supervisor on many feature films. During it all, he has maintained his own personal filmmaking activities. He has given numerous presentations about film, and has been an active member of Toastmasters International, where he has received numerous speaking awards.

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.
