Christian Glawe (he/him) was 13 years old when his parents bought him his first computer for Christmas: a Radio Shack Color Computer with 16K of RAM. He soon learned how to animate text letters to music on a 13-inch screen, and would stay up all night making words form at the exact moment the chorus of a song dropped. But Christian assumed that making dancing text letters wasn’t a viable career path, and that he would ultimately go to some sort of law school.

He didn’t go to law school.

Inspired by a film class, Christian discovered that one actually could make a living creating cool-looking things on a screen and telling a memorable story. Over his 25+ year career as a film and television editor, Christian has edited programming in a wide variety of non-fiction formats and genres for Disney+, NatGeo, HBO Films, PBS, CNN Films, New Line Cinema, MTV, Discovery, OWN, Travel Channel, and many others.

Most recently, Christian edited the Emmy Award-winning “Science Fair: The Series” (2024 Outstanding Science and Technology Documentary). Also in 2024, his editing work on “Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller” was nominated for an Emmy (Outstanding Editing: News).

Christian was also part of the editorial team for the feature documentary “Science Fair”,  which won the Festival Favorite Award at the Sundance Film Festival (2018), the Festival Favorite Award at the South by Southwest Film Festival (2018), and the Best Documentary Award from the Portland International Film Festival (2018).

Christian edited the official trailer for the Academy Award-winning documentary short film “The Lady In Number Six” (Winner, Best Documentary (Short Subject), 2014), which also won Best Trailer at the 2013 LA New Media Film Festival.

Today, Christian enjoys bringing his skills and experience to a wide range of content, and telling compelling and impactful stories. Really, not all that much has changed since he was 13. Yes, the screens are larger. Yes, Christian has less hair. But he still loves spending countless hours creating cool things on screens.
