Chris Witt

Editor

Chris Witt is a picture editor based in Los Angeles, California. With over 20 features and dozens of shorts, his work focuses on crafting emotive moments that capture the imagination. Venturing outside the English language, he has cut films in German, French, Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi. Regardless of the language, he seeks to explore the universal honesty of our humanity. His films have screened at over 100 festivals across the world, including Cannes, Busan, American Film Institute, and Tribeca. Among the notable films are Kavi, an Academy Award nominee and the Hindi feature Gali Guleiyan, nominated for the 2018 AACTA award for best Asian Film. His film 892 is an official selection of the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. His passion for crafting motion pictures is matched only by his love of film photography. He regularly shoots film stock left over from movie productions in his manual 35mm camera and develops the rolls in his kitchen. The only thing dearer to him than his two cinematic crafts is his wife and two beautiful daughters.

Reviewers score the pacing 40/100 in their films, across 18 reviewed titles; fans 54, detractors 26. The element that speaks to their work as an editor.

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.
