Michael P. Shawver (born 1984 or 1985) is an American film editor who has worked in the industry since the early 2010s. He and fellow editor Debbie Berman were nominated for several editing awards for their work on the 2018 film Black Panther directed by Ryan Coogler.[1] Before Black Panther, Shawver was an editor for Coogler's films Fruitvale Station (2013) and Creed (2015).[2]
Background
Shawver was born around 1984 or 1985 and grew up in North Providence, Rhode Island.[3] He went to Greystone Elementary School then Ponaganset High School. He went to the University of Rhode Island,[4] where he majored in communications studies.[3] He graduated from URI in 2007,[5] and he then went to the Los Angeles-based USC School of Cinematic Arts to enroll in the Master of Fine Arts program, and at the school, he met Ryan Coogler.[3] Shawver edited Coogler's student films, including "Fig", which aired on HBO.[5] Shawver completed the MFA program in 2012.[6]
Shawver's first feature-film credit as editor came when Coogler began work on his first feature film Fruitvale Station with Claudia Castello involved as editor. Coogler recruited Shawver, and Castello and Shawver worked as a team.[7] The two collaborated as editors again for Coogler's follow-up Creed. For Coogler's third feature film Black Panther, Shawver teamed with Debbie Berman, and the two worked on editing over 500 hours' worth of footage. Since Berman was one of the editors for the 2017 film Spider-Man: Homecoming, Shawver learned from her how to work with visual effects in editing.[2]
