Maryann Brandon
Maryann Brandon is an American television and film editor.[1] Brandon has been elected to membership of the American Cinema Editors society.[2][3] She is a frequent collaborator with J. J. Abrams.
Brandon earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her editing work on the popular television series Alias, created by Abrams. Brandon was also an associate producer on Alias during its final season. She has since edited almost all of Abrams' films with Mary Jo Markey, with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker being the lone exception. She edited that film with Stefan Grube.[4] Brandon worked with Abrams on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was released in December 2015.[5] She received an Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing for her work on the film, sharing the nomination with Mary Jo Markey.[6]
In her role editing Abrams' Star Trek, she reported that neither editor had been told that he intended to make extensive use of lens flares and bright lighting, and they initially contacted the film developers asking why the film seemed overexposed.[7]
