Fred Brown II, Editor, Assistant, A.C.E., Local 700
At the age of 9, Fred started working as a technical director for his church's television broadcast on WCIU-TV (tape playback). This eventually led to working in the promo sports department for WGN-TV. After college, he began assisting on commercials and, soon after, moved to LA. Without any contacts in the business, Fred found myself diving right into assisting in trailer & commercial post-production houses. These were great experiences: processing high volumes of footage and often-times the sole assistant for numerous editors.
Ultimately wanting to work in film & scripted television, Fred decided it was time to switch paths. He'd have an opportunity to work with David Fincher's amazing editorial crew on Mindhunter. Fred has also gotten a chance to work on shows like The Walking Dead for AMC, Tulsa King for Paramount, Get Millie Black for HBO & Squid Game for Netflix. He'd also have opportunities to work on theatrical films such as Blonde & Leave The World Behind.
Working in narrative post-production has been a long-time goal and, he takes pride, everyday, in learning how to be more efficient, creative, and intentional; as well as learning as much as possible from the wonderful editors & post-crews Fred has been granted a chance to work with. He's eager both to learn and share his skill set.
We put film together, tell the story, and give it clarity. That’s what we do.
