Wyatt Smith

Wyatt Smith, yeah, he’s that guy behind the scenes slicing and dicing footage into something people actually want to watch. Born and bred in NYC (which probably explains his hustle), Wyatt’s been in the thick of the movie world for a minute. Editing’s his bread and butter, but he’s dabbled in directing too—kind of a double threat, you know? If you’ve caught the 2023 version of The Little Mermaid, Doctor Strange (that wild Marvel ride from 2016), or Harriet (the biopic that’s way more than just a history lesson), you’ve seen his work—maybe without even realizing it. Smith doesn’t go for flashy headlines or red carpet drama. Instead, he’s the guy making sure the story actually lands. Like, imagine Doctor Strange without those trippy visuals and razor-sharp cuts—yeah, snoozefest. Wyatt’s fingerprints are all over the pacing, the mood, the way a scene hits you right in the gut or makes you laugh when you least expect it. The man knows how to keep you on the hook. And that’s not some accident; it’s skill, pure and simple. He’s worked with some heavy hitters too. Directors trust him to take their vision and crank it up a notch. Doesn’t matter if it’s fantasy, superhero chaos, or a real-life struggle—Wyatt’s got the chops to handle it. Honestly, he’s not the guy you see in front of the camera, but he’s one of the main reasons you stay glued to your seat. It’s not magic, just really, really good editing—and maybe a little New York attitude for good measure.
