Dylan Tichenor, ACE, got his start in the craft of editing with editor Geraldine Peroni who brought him on as apprentice editor on Robert Altman’s "The Player." Continuing this collaboration, he went on to be assistant editor on "Short Cuts" and "Prêt-à-Porter [Ready to Wear]," associate editor on Alan Rudolph's "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle," then technical coordinator on Altman's "Kansas City," and finally as co-editor on the documentary "Jazz '34," for which he earned an Emmy nomination.
Mr. Tichenor subsequently entered an ongoing collaboration with writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson, beginning as post-production supervisor on Sydney ["Hard Eight"], and then editing the award-winning features "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia," and "There Will Be Blood," for which he was nominated for an Academy Award.
Mr. Tichenor's credits as editor also include "Hurlyburly" (Tony Drazan), "Unbreakable" (M. Night Shyamalan), "The Royal Tenenbaums" (Wes Anderson), "Brokeback Mountain" (Ang Lee), "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (Andrew Dominik), "Doubt" (John Patrick Shanley), "Whip It" (Drew Barrymore), “The Town" (Ben Affleck), "Lawless" (John Hillcoat), and "Zero Dark Thirty" (Kathryn Bigelow), which earned him a second Academy nomination.
His recent projects have been “Child 44” (Daniel Espinosa), “Triple 9” (John Hillcoat), “American Made” (Doug Liman), and “Stronger” (David Gordon Green). In 2019 Tichenor collaborated with director Paul Thomas Anderson again for best-picture nominated "Phantom Thread,” and with Scott Cooper on the forthcoming “Antlers.”

About Manhattan Edit Workshop’s LIVE Online Six Week Intensive Workshop: The post-production industry is highly competitive, and knowing the industry standards – Premiere Pro, After Effects and Avid Media Composer – is critical for success. MEWShop offers all of this in one comprehensive six-week course, the training that aspiring post-production professionals need in each of these editing applications, taught by certified instructors.
Beyond the creative and technical aspects of editing, a portion of the Six Week Intensive Workshop is focused on the best strategies to secure a job once the class ends. Students will draft cover letters and resumes, which will be refined over the span of the class, and also discuss with instructors about interview strategies and job applications, as well as how to appropriately set rates and find the right work for each graduate’s unique interests.
Our LIVE online workshop will run Monday - Friday from 10am EST - 6pm EST with an hour lunch. All media and projects will be provided online with screenings and discussions occurring on either Zoom or Google Hangout. Students will need to obtain an Avid license from Avid or have or obtain an Adobe Premiere Pro license for the duration of the class. These can be purchased separately, or Manhattan Edit Workshop can direct students to free or temporary options.

Manhattan Edit Workshop administration will do a trial run the week before the class begins with each student to verify that everything is working.
