Paul Buhl

reference Feature film editor based in Los Angeles with credits that stretch across a wild mix of genres. Cut the pulse-pounding action flick “Force of Nature,” directed by Michael Polish, where Mel Gibson, Emile Hirsch, and Kate Bosworth face a brutal hurricane and even nastier criminals. Then there’s “Bring on the Dancing Horses,” a drama series that premiered at Sundance 2022—Kate Bosworth leads, Michael Polish writes and directs, and the vibe is pure neo-noir, all grit and shadow. Switched gears for “Daddy Daughter Trip,” a goofy, offbeat family comedy with Rob Schneider both in the director’s chair and onscreen, delivering dad jokes with his trademark smirk. “Terror on the Prairie” is a proper Western, Gina Carano in the lead, Michael Polish at the helm again—dust, danger, frontier justice, the works. Don’t get too comfy, because “The Recall” veers straight into sci-fi territory with Wesley Snipes and RJ Mitte tangled up in an alien abduction scenario, full of tense standoffs and unexpected twists. Documentary work includes “Blink of an Eye,” which dives headfirst into the tragic, heart-wrenching story of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt’s final race—expect raw emotion and high-octane nostalgia. “Westerly” flips the script again, following Australian surf legend Peter Drouyn’s struggle with gender dysphoria—a deep, personal portrait that rides the wave between self-discovery and public scrutiny. Pretty eclectic, right? This editor’s filmography refuses to sit still, always chasing the next challenge.
