Roger Barton

Roger Barton began working in editorial on documentaries and made-for-TV movies including the Emmy award-winning "Indictment: The McMartin Trial." He soon made the transition to motion pictures and in 1997 was an Associate Editor on the decade's biggest blockbuster, "Titanic." He quickly moved up the ladder, honing his skills at Jerry Bruckheimer Films on "Armageddon" and "Gone in 60 Seconds." Since then, Barton has worked with Michael Bay on "Pearl Harbor," "Bad Boys 2," the Platinum Dunes release, "Amityville Horror," "The Island," and the last five "Transformers" films. During his career, Roger has cut for Hollywood's leading filmmakers such as George Lucas on "Star Wars: Episode III", the Wachowski Brothers' "Speed Racer", Jim Sheridan's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" and two films for Director Joe Carnahan, "The Grey" and "The A-Team." Beginning in 2013, Roger edited three films for Skydance Entertainment, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," "World War Z," and "Terminator: Genesis." In 2016 Roger returned to with Jerry Bruckheimer on "Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Men Tell No Tales," after which he joined the team cutting "Transformers, The Last Knight" which is his ninth collaboration with Michael Bay. In the summer of 2017, Roger began editing "Godzilla: King of Monsters" for Legendary Pictures but left when he became Co-Founder of Evercast -- a live streaming creative collaboration platform. As more and more productions shoot out of town, Evercast is becoming widely adopted by Hollywood because keeping filmmakers connected maintains creative momentum, saves time, money and removes the need to travel post-production crews around the world for months at a time. While Roger was pitching Evercast to the Hollywood Studios, he also helped John Krasinski turn his 17 million dollar genre thriller "A Quiet Place" into a 334 million summer blockbuster. With Evercast gaining momentum of its own, Roger has returned to his passion of editing and is currently cutting "Six-Underground", the most expensive Netflix project to date being directed by Michael Bay and starring Ryan Reynolds.
