| About Me | Austin’s latest feature films as picture editor include Summer of 84 (2018), a retro-set thriller from directing collective RKSS that debuted in the Midnight program at Sundance 2018; and Anthem of a Teenage Prophet (2018), a coming-of-age drama starring Cameron Monaghan and Juliette Lewis, which he also co-produced. Series TV he has edited includes Netflix’s Julie and the Phantoms (2020), for which he won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Editing; and the upcoming Bron Animation series Fables. He was also nominated for Best Film Editing from Argentina’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts for The Games Maker (2015), a fantasy adventure starring Joseph Fiennes that premiered at Sundance 2015 and was released on 1200 screens internationally by Disney/Buena Vista. A past recipient of the 20th Warner Roadshow Studios Queensland New Filmmakers Award and nominee for the Tribeca Film Festival’s Student Visionary Award, Austin’s short films have screened on every continent at festivals including Rome, Tribeca and Sydney, and won over fifteen awards. His feature directorial debut, the South African media satire Lord Jones is Dead (2016), premiered on Super Channel after a limited theatrical run. It was called “the Office Space of print journalism” by Hollywood North Magazine, and “fun and clever” by Toronto Film Scene. Formerly a photographer with The Times newspaper in Johannesburg, Austin’s acclaimed photojournalism and war correspondence has taken him to stories in forty countries, including Afghanistan and North Korea, for publications as diverse as TIME, Foreign Policy and BBC World News. Lauded by The Globe and Mail as “beautiful” and CBC Books as “incredibly intimate”, his acclaimed photography books Shadow Hymns (2017) and Red Star Utopia (2018) are available in bookstores across Canada. |
