Chris Bové is an expert editor of fifteen dynamic, uninterrupted years.

He edits independent films for theatrical and festival release, which consistently win "Audience Favorite". He has also worked on many projects as Story Editor, Script Editor, Editorial Consultant and Technical Advisor.

During daylight hours he is an editor at one of PBS's best stations creating powerful television programs seen by millions of eyes throughout the US and into Canada. In this international PBS arena he has won many awards, but perhaps more importantly is that his work delivers tremendous R.O.I. and full-funding opportunities for future productions. In short, he pays for himself ten times over every year.

"A film's financial return is devastatingly important. Yet it is impossible to achieve success without addressing the two most important efforts in the filmmaking process: the creation of the script and the editing of the story. Every other task while very important is merely a financial, technical or artistic implementation of these two.

The best directing, acting and cinematography won't hide a weak story."
