Hi, I’m Ryan, a recent graduate from James Madison University with a degree in Psychology and Media Arts & Design, with a concentration in Digital Video & Cinema, and I love everything editing.
I am deeply inspired by the power of editing to shape a story. It’s literally like solving a complex puzzle where every cut, rhythm, and transition matters to create an emotional and compelling film. Editors like Jennifer Lame, Gregory Plotkin, and Yang Jin-mo, whose work shows how thoughtful editing elevates narrative tension, pacing, and emotion, inspire my love for editing.
During my time at JMU, I had the opportunity to write, direct, and co-edit a short film called Waiting Room. Using Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro, I crafted the film’s pacing, color, and tone, carefully shaping each scene to build tension and connect viewers to the characters. This project was a passion project and a hands-on lesson in how editing is not just technical work but a creative art that requires problem-solving, patience, and an eye for detail.
In addition to Waiting Room, I worked as a videographer and editor at JMU, collaborating with student leadership to produce social campaigns, interviews, and creative content that combined storytelling with brand strategy. I have experience managing post-production timelines, syncing audio, layering music, and refining story arcs, which has prepared me well for a fast-paced, collaborative environment
like Blumhouse. I’m proficient in Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects, and I thrive in the post-production process, whether cutting scripted content or crafting engaging social
videos.
Thank you for considering my application! I’d love to discuss how my experience and passion can support your team’s creative vision.
Best,
Ryan Evelynn Garner
