Chris Witt is an acclaimed picture editor with over 20 features and numerous shorts to his credit. He has gained a reputation for his ability to craft emotionally powerful moments that capture the imagination and explore the universal truths of the human experience.

Chris's films have been screened at over 100 festivals worldwide, including Cannes, Busan, American Film Institute, and Tribeca, and have won numerous awards. His recent work includes "Breaking" (formally "892"), which won a Special Jury Award for Best Ensemble at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. Roeper from the Chicago Sun-Times lauded the movie, saying "there's a one-two gut punch of sadness accompanying the experience." Rolling Stone called Chris's editing "savvy," and Deadline praised his expert help in working with director Abi Damaris Corbin.

He even shoots leftover film stock from movie productions, developing the rolls in his kitchen for a unique and intimate perspective.

Chris is also passionate about sharing his editing knowledge and experience with other creatives, and he often connects with young and aspiring filmmakers to help them on their path to success.

With his talent, diverse filmography, and dedication to his craft and community, Chris Witt has made an indelible mark as one of the most talented editors today. He is committed to utilizing his skills and influence to create a positive difference in the world.
