Background

About Michael Huetz

Beginning in the early '90s, I honed my skills in commercial editing at Red Car Editorial, assisting Jerry Fried, a highly regarded mentor in the industry. I was at the forefront of the digital editing revolution, working with Avid Media Composer and After Effects from their inception. My editing career took off in 1994 with the Beastie Boys' Root Down music video, directed by Evan Bernard. This opened the door to a thriving music video career, working with director Diane Martel on projects like The Riddler by Method Man and How High featuring Method Man & Redman. Shifting to commercial editing, I worked at Invisible Dog Editorial, cutting over 60 spots for major agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi, J. Walter Thompson, and Foote Cone Belding. During this time, I also collaborated with Axis Theater Company, integrating video installations into live productions. When the actor's strike impacted commercial production, I transitioned into long-format television, editing for Nickelodeon, MTV, and VH1. Over the years, I worked on Teen Nick Concert Series, VH1 All Access, The Wendy Williams Show, and Celebrity Eye Candy. After a five-year tenure at Meetinghouse Productions editing World's Dumbest, I joined Notional Productions for Chopped: After Hours and worked in development at Leftfield and Loud Television. In 2014, I co-founded MAX DEF Productions, producing and editing multiple projects for global audiences. Currently, I focus on remote editing, contributing to major projects for Big Fish Entertainment, BSTV, and Sharp Entertainment, including multiple 90 Day Fiancé franchise shows.
