James Choiniere is best described as a gentle giant. He has a gift for putting people at ease through the use of jokes and storytelling. His greatest love is to hear someone say “You make me laugh.”  Beneath that gentle exterior is a fiercely devoted husband and father and more importantly, director. His attention to detail is incredibly evident in the shining performances that he is able to pull from his actors.

Nominated for "Best Editing" at the 2006 and 2007 - 168 Hour film Festival.
