Duane Fogwell is an award-winning Australian film and TV editor. He has over
two decades of experience in editing movies and TV shows and he has worked on
countless shows both in Hollywood and in his native Australia. Following his graduation
from the prestigious Victorian
College of the Arts (VCA) film school, Duane became a fixture in the Australian
Television business for over a decade. It wasn’t until he decided to move his
family to California that he really understood what it was like to work in
Hollywood.
Being a professional editor opened
a lot of doors for Duane almost as soon as he landed at LAX. Industry people discovered quickly Duane to be
a no-nonsense editor who believes in working professionally and efficiently – and
as such, jobs began coming his way. Producers love working with him because he
not only saves them money by finishing projects quickly but he makes their
shows look great because of his creativity and know-how.
How did he get his start in editing?
The answer is simple: he started when he was young because he was drawn to
storytelling and filmmaking. In fact, Duane made some award-winning short films
including, The Milkman, The Best man,
which won Best Script and Best Editing (both done by Duane), and the film Fish Lips, which went on to be a
finalist in the 2012 “Best Of Tropfest” competition in Las Vegas. All of these
short films took Australia by storm and as a result, Duane was fielding job
offers from Australian production companies. He honed his professionalism and
the art and craft of editing in the Australian Television industry for several
years and has been working in L.A. most recently on some very well-known shows
that include: Dancing With The stars,
Battlebots, Ultimate Beastmaster, Lip Sync Battle, Masterchef, Hyperdrive,
America’s Next Top Model, Candy Crush, What The Fit, and among others, Cyrus vs. Cyrus.
