John Welch

Less then a decade ago, John left the great-plains of the Midwest to pursue his dream of filmmaking in Los Angeles. His passion for film began at the tender age of eight making horror films with his childhood buddy. Later, as a teen, John made stop-motion shorts using action figures. More recently, John's quest for excellence led him to the Digital Media Education Center in Portland, Oregon, where he mastered the fascinating art of film editing. Prior to abandoning his childhood roots, John worked his magic as an editor in the media department of the national headquarters of American Family Insurance. He also edited the feature length documentary Wedding Advice: Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace, an insightful film about America's ambivalence towards marriage. Currently John is the assistant editor of Ringers: Lord of the Fans.
