LEE WALKER  picture editor

My editing career began at Toronto Metropolitan University's Films Studies Program, with a sudden realization: I loved visual storytelling, but hated standing around on set for 14 hours a day. That process of elimination turned out to be the best career move I ever made.

​

After graduating, I headed back to Vancouver for that ocean fresh air, which launched my career into the world of television. I spent several years cutting factual series for some of Canada’s top production companies, including three seasons of Yukon Gold for History TV and National Geographic.

​

My heart then pulled me back to scripted storytelling. So I hoofed it back to "Torrona” (That’s Canadian for “Toronto") for a fellowship at the prestigious Canadian Film Centre where I spent six months collaborating with the country's best up and coming directors, producers, writers and composers in the Editor's Lab.

 

Since then, my general goofiness and love of all things weird has honed my timing for comedy, thrillers, and horror. On the other end of the spectrum, my eye for subtlety has pushed me into the world of emotional drama. I thrive on finding those wordless moments in an actor's performance that make a scene strong. 

​

My credits include the final season of the beloved Kim’s Convenience, the supernatural teen series Astrid and Lilly Save the World, two seasons of the SYFY series SurrealEstate and the feature documentary Silver Screamers which premiered at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. Most recently I brought my Rom-Com sensibilities to the feature film The Banquet, Directed by Gloria Ui Young Kim and I'm now I'm in the edit suite for season one of Shaftesbury Films' new series, Barton Vet.
