GREG WINKLER
Greg is an Award-Winning Film and Television Editor based out of Los Angeles, California with over a decade’s worth of industry experience.
Being an LA native, he was introduced to the entertainment world at a very early age. Growing up near the beach, Greg had spent most of his childhood making surf and skate videos for his friends. In 2009, he was accepted into the prestigious film program at Dodge College of Film & Media Arts at Chapman University and graduated with honors in 2012. Greg had the fortunate pleasure of working for American Honda & Acura Motor Co., producing original in-house content for service reps, helping to pioneer a brand new department within the Southern California offices. Simultaneously, he booked his first editing gig, cutting a music video that later went viral. This helped introduced him to more industry professionals, landing him an AE gig on a Feature Film that was produced in only 30 Days!
Greg Winkler later found himself growing tremendously within the unscripted world of Reality TV on big name shows such as, A&E’s Duck Dynasty, E!’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, MTV’s The Challenge, & USA’s Miz & Mrs. Taking everything Greg learned from unscripted and pivoting into the sports doc & scripted docu-series specials, such as Simone Vs. Herself and Helter Skelter: An American Myth, he found his true strides to great storytelling. And as a long-time storyteller, the road into commercial & branded content was just taking off!
Greg Winkler’s latest accomplishments include a wide range of branded content production for big name brands, such as Amazon, Blue Origin, Dos Hombres, & Hoonigan. Amazon’s Sustainability & Meeting the Moment campaigns were truly rewarding projects to be working on during the pandemic. Producing and localizing individual profile pieces in nine global markets, was a brilliant & innovative way to share personal stories internationally, during some very trying times. Short form and branded content have become Greg’s speciality.
From 2020 to mid 2023, Greg Winkler had the honor & privilege to travel to Van Horn, West Texas and be at ground zero at Launch Site One for 6x historical Blue Origin human space flight launches, starting with the famous First Human Flight, supporting founder Jeff Bezos on-board. This marked the birth of a new era of space tourism and is paving the way for generations to come! In 2024, Hallmark+ and PIP have partnered up to produce content for the newly launched platform.
When Greg isn’t making L cuts, he enjoys spending time with family & friends, traveling, snowboarding, golfing, practicing photography, producing short-films, and competing for his dog Niko’s attention.
Greg is a proud member of the IATSE Local 700 Editors Guild and is forever fine-tuning his craft. Greg is based in Los Angeles, but loves traveling for work and is available for hire remotely & worldwide!
