2010 KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Pic of Christopher Nelson CHRISTOPHER
NELSON A.C.E.

Editor,
Madmen, Lost
Chris Nelson’s career has been long and varied, having been Producer, Director or Film Editor on a variety of Cable and Network Movies, Pilots, Series and Feature Films.

Nelson began his career as a film editor on the Mini-Series “The Captains and the Kings” in the late 70’s, and soon after began editing pilots for Stephen Cannell. “The Greatest American Hero” pilot provided the first chance to move away from Editing, allowing the opportunity for producing and directing to become a reality. However, the lure and love of editing has caused him to return to his roots again and again.

Nelson has received Best Editing Emmy Nominations for: “Six Feet Under”, “China Beach”, and “The Greatest American Hero” pilots. Also two Nominations for “Lost”. He also received an American Cinema Editors nomination for editing the “West Wing” pilot and “Lost”.

With over fifty Television Movies and Pilots to his credit, Nelson feels he’s been fortunate to have been part of a few that have had social significance. These include: The three hour SHOWTIME Movie “Thanks of a Grateful Nation”, I’ll Fly Away” Special for PBS, the “China Beach” pilot, the “Six Feet Under Pilot” for HBO and most recently, the television movie “The Pentagon Papers” for FX Networks.
