About

Born and raised in BC (with an Albertan detour), Shaun has lived and breathed cinema for about as long as he can remember. From making YouTube videos with his friends to editing award-winning movies for Paramount Plus and Hallmark, Shaun has edited just about every frame of footage he can get his hands on.

Shaun believes strongly in the power of a well-crafted story and this has led to many fruitful collaborations with directors such as David Winning, Lucie Guest, James Bamford, Paula Elle, and his longtime friend and mentor Tony Dean Smith.

His work has screened all over the world on Netflix, Paramount Plus, Hallmark, Tubi, and Lifetime. As well, he has been nominated twice for Best Picture Editing on a Motion Picture (2025 & 2026) by the Leo Awards.

When not in the editing suite, you can catch him cycling around Vancouver or swimming the many lakes of the Lower Mainland.

Process

What happens in the edit suite that makes or breaks a story?
“So much. It's vital to pay attention to the performances. Sometimes the key to a scene or a character is all in a beat that's easy to overlook.”
What’s your philosophy when the footage tells a different story than the script?
“Be open to where the footage will take you. You may find something there that will service the story better than you could have ever imagined.”
