Jim MacDonald

Editor

Following a successful career in professional theater in New York City, Jim MacDonald was ready for a new challenge. He joined a video post-production company in an entry-level position. Due to his wide ranging knowledge, diligence and hands-on style, he rose within a short period of time to upper management, serving in a number of post-production houses.

Following the advent of computer editing and the subsequent collapse of the post-production industry, Jim reinvented himself as a freelance technical consultant. He has worked with a number of independent editors setting up systems, creating graphics, and software troubleshooting. Art Bastard marks Jim’s debut as primary editor.
