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.

​

Eventually, my heart 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's Editor’s Lab, where I spent six months collaborating with the country's best up and coming directors, producers, writers and composers.

 

Since then, I’ve carved out a niche where my general goofiness and love of all things weird, helped me specialize in the razor-thin timing required for comedy, thrillers, and horror.

​

My credits include the final season of the beloved Kim’s Convenience, the supernatural teen series Astrid and Lilly Save the World, and two seasons of the SYFY/Bell Media series SurrealEstate. Most recently, I brought my genre sensibilities to Silver Screamers which premiered at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas.​ I’m currently in the edit suite for Gloria Kim’s upcoming feature, The Banquet (due for release in 2026). 

​

Whether I'm crafting a punchline or a jump scare, I truly believe that entertainment and compassion are only one cut away from each other.
