CHRIS DOLD

Chris Dold is a Chinese-American editor and visual artist based in Los Angeles. Growing up in Maryland, he fell in love with movies and bold formalist storytelling at an early age, recreating blockbusters at home with self-taught visual effects skills. After graduating from goofy backyard movies with friends, he studied at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, concentrating in editing and sound design. While there, he won an Eddie award for the 2016 A.C.E. Student Editing Competition and was honored by J.J. Abrams at a ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.

    During his days as an editorial PA on projects like Hotel Artemis, people quickly took note of his passion for VFX and how it enhanced the editorial process. Speaking to Vanity Fair, director Drew Pearce lauded that Chris “with After Effects could do things onscreen that like twenty years ago you wouldn’t even get in a blockbuster.” Since then he has risen ranks to First Assistant Editor, working on projects for Blumhouse, Sony, and most recently Apple TV; The Morning Show and the upcoming series Smoke, which he received an additional editor credit on.
