Don Zimmerman

    Editor, Editorial Department, Sound Department

    Don Zimmerman entered the business of show in 1969 as an apprentice editor in music and sound effects. He worked for the Mirisch Co. under Dick Carruth, Frank Warner and Jim Richards on films such as: The Hawaiians, Gaily, Gaily, Little Big Man, The Godfather, Where's Papa and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

    He then became a picture assistant editor for Hal Ashby on films such as: The Landlord, Harold and Maude, Shampoo and Bound for Glory. After eight years in the industry, Don became a picture editor on the Hal Ashby film Coming Home, which earned him an Academy Award nomination. He also edited the film Being There for Hal.

    In 1993, Don met Tom Shadyac on his first feature film, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Don has since edited The Nutty Professor and Liar Liar for Tom. Don feels Patch Adams is Tom's best work to date, and hopes to continue working with him in the future.
