Joe Klotz (* as Joseph Klotz ) is an American film editor .

life and work

Klotz got into film editing by chance . He actually only took a job at the local television station to pay off his student loans after graduating from Syracuse University . After some more work on commercials and documentaries, he came to television, where he not only edited smaller series and TV films, but even worked on the well-known Comedy Central series Chappelle's Show .

This was followed by the leap to Hollywood, where Klotz ended up after films like Junikäfer , Grace is Gone and Choke - The Simulant in the production Precious - Life is precious . After turbulent personnel decisions plunged the film into a number of crises, Klotz was able to bring a certain stability and contribute so much to its success through his work that he was awarded an Oscar nomination for best editing in 2010. Klotz was one of the surprises with the nominations, as he was neither awarded nor nominated for any of the major prizes. He himself attributed his nomination to the fact that his style was documentary, which was due to the camera work, but above all benefited the story.

Joe Klotz is a member of the American Cinema Editors . He is currently represented by the Sheldon Prosnit Agency .
