About the Author

Dan Selakovich has held almost every position on a variety of film and video projects: Cinematographer, assistant camera, gaffer, grip, boom operator, loader, and since 1986, editor and second unit director. As an editor, Dan acquired the reputation as someone who could "fix" a film in trouble, and found himself working mostly as an uncredited film surgeon making bad films a little more watchable.
