“Cinematography & Editing are at the very heart of our craft. They are not inherited from a theatrical or literary tradition: they are cinema itself.”

— Guillermo del Toro

About

Wynton Payne is a film and television editor based in Hollywood.

His background extends into visual effects, giving him a complete view of how images are built and how that process shapes the edit. Originally from Chicago, he works out of Hollywood and mentors filmmakers at various stages of their careers, with a focus on craft and story.
