Gaëtan Hugnet
Editor
Over the past few years I have been working on European, Australian, Canadian and American productions such as the feature films Black Flies (2022-2023) in competition at the Cannes Film Festival 2023, Transformers (2021), L'Empereur de Paris (2018) presented at the César du cinema 2019, A Prayer Before Dawn (2017) in Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival 2017. I've also worked on series like Greek Salad (2022) distributed by Amazon, Big Little Lies (2019) distributed by HBO, and more recently editor on Transplant (2022) distributed by NBC and the feature film De Gaulle: Part 1 (2024) produced by Pathé.
I had the opportunity to work closely with experienced editors and directors such as Marc Boucrot, Hervé Schneid, Sahra Mekki, Anne-Sophie Bion, Stuart Levy, Claire Fieschi, Katharine McQuerrey, Béatrice Herminie, Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, Siegfried, Jean-Marc Vallée, Sylvain Lebel, Jean-François Richet, which has allowed me the privilege of developing my skills alongside them.
I am Canadian, European (French), and a member of IATSE in North America. Offering greater flexibility for international projects, whether on-site, remote, or both.
