Sheri Bylander, ACE
Sheri Bylander, ACE, is a New York-based editor of TV dramas The Americans (FX), Divorce (HBO), The Purge (USA/SYFY), Hap and Leonard (Sundance Channel) and comedies Alpha House (Amazon), Sirens (USA) and The Jim Gaffigan Show (TVLand), among others. She has also edited feature films (including a Cannes award-winner), feature documentaries, and documentary-style TV.
Sheri’s started her editing career as Assistant Editor on feature films and television, including The Night Flier, Sweet And Lowdown, Sex And The City and 100 Centre Street; working with NYC icons Woody Allen, Sidney Lumet and Darren Starr.
As Director/Producer of Homestretch, a documentary about the redemption possible when broken-down racehorses meet prison inmates, Sheri got to hang out with murderers and millionaires, winners and wash-ups, finding out how society's outcasts, with a little help from those who seemingly have it all, can help each other.
For adventure, Sheri hiked the Khumbu Trail in Nepal, chatted with orangutans in Borneo, jumped off a bridge in New Zealand and wrote for David Milch on the HBO series Luck.
All of these seemingly unrelated adventures help in her quest to be the best storyteller possible in her editing.
