Devon Greene has been working in the film and television industry since his arrival in L.A. in June of 1990. Under his given name of Dave Greenberg, he was able to quickly find his niche in post-production. Greenberg would train on film, tape, and eventually the then-emerging technology of digital editing. By the summer of 1994, he was an assistant editor on the television film Candles In The Dark directed by Oscar-Award winner, Maximilian Schell. It was around this time that he met writer/director James O'Brien through a mutual friend. It would be only months later that O'Brien and producer Gary Kohn would approach Greenberg to edit their upcoming project, a low-budget film named Venice Bound.
Enthusiastic to move on to the next stage of his career, Greenberg would agree and would help obtain a digital editing workstation for relatively low cost. Venice Bound was likely the first film of such a modest budget to edit electronically. Greenberg, and O'Brien, with help from Kohn and Co-Producer Eric Kopatz would edit the film in little over two weeks, working around the clock more often than not. The result: a quirky, modern day noir film, featuring Generation X criminals, and numerous experimentations in editing style. Hired initially as an editor only, Greenberg was expecting to walk away and hear about the progress of the film as time went by. Instead, O'Brien, Kohn, and Kopatz, collectively called The Artists Coalition, invited Greenberg to join the group and continue to help in the post-production of the film. Greenberg would use his television contacts to get favors, freebies and deep discounts on sound editors (they used the editors of the Jim Carrey film, The Mask), negative cutters, opticals, and a full mix in surround sound. The finished product would screen in the Director's Guild, The Orpheum Theater, and eventually, a blown up 35mm print would screen at Les Ambassade Theatre in Cannes, France during the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.
Greenberg continued to work in television, mainly for Hallmark Hall of Fame, including an additional editing credit on the mini series Dead Man's Walk, a prequel to Lonesome Dove, written and produced by Oscar winners Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. He also produced and edited two more independent films in the next four years: The multi-award winning Next Time in 1997, and ...Or Forever Hold Your Peace in 1999, also an award winner.
Greenberg would work regularly on television for the next decade, spending five years at Wolf Films on the critically-acclaimed Law & Order as both an assistant editor and an editor, as well as editing for the sister show Law and Order: SVU. Greenberg would next join Shawn Ryan's MiddKid Productions on the multiple Emmy-Award winning show, The Shield. From there he would be invited to be a series editor on the CBS show The Unit, created by Pulitzer Prize playwright, David Mamet. It was here that he changed his name to Devon Greene, a former writing alias.
Currently, Devon Greene is a series editor on the Shawn Ryan produced Lie To Me, starring Tim Roth.
