"John Travers is a magician in the editing room. I've seen him turn shit into silver; it's cinematic alchemy. Every challenge is tackled with his limitless energy and his encyclopedic knowledge of film and filmmaking. I defy you to find a more talented and upstanding human in Hollywood."

-- David Rickett, Creative Director, We Care About Kids

"After working with many technical artists, John was refreshing in that he not only possesses the technical know-how of an experienced editor, but was extremely creative in many other ways. He designed and laid out several marketing concepts for our film, then wrote a detailed script for the trailer -- including voice-over and tag lines -- then cut the trailer accordingly. He is also one of the most proficient and timely editors I've worked with, and delivered several versions, each one excellent, based on our notes, and constantly came up with significant improvements. He's easy to work with, and has a very positive attitude. I can't say enough about the experience of working with him."

-- Michelle Vogler, Producer, "Wild Seven"

 

"John is an exceptionally talented and motivated filmmaker, whose cinematic abilitites have grown during the time I have known him. As an editor, he has demonstrated more than once an ability to analyze and improve upon whatever project he is working. He's also capable as a writer and director, with a fertile mind and considerable knowledge of cinema. I would recommend him highly and without hesitation."

-- Gerald Shepard, Editor, "Five Easy Pieces," Editor & Associate Producer, "The Monkees"

 

"John's work on my short film Night Train was both technically and creatively superior. Not only was he a joy to work with, but also loyal to the project in the extreme. Night Train went on to air nationwide on PBS, the BBC, and European cable television. It was an official selection of more than thirty film festivals around the world, winning best short film honors at the Canadian Independent Film Festival and the U.S. Film and Video Festival, as well as numerous other prizes. I believe John's contribution to the film was in no small way responsible for its success."

"John also edited GameBox 1.0 -- on which I served as Co-Executive Producer -- as well as my most recent short, Caller Unknown, produced by Ghost House Pictures. His editing choices on those films, as well as his camerawork on Caller Unknown, elevated the films' quality immeasurably. I would recommend John without reservation."

-- John Coven, Director, "Night Train," "Caller Unknown," Co-Executive Producer, "GameBox 1.0 "

 

"The guy is creative, he's ambitious, he's hard-working. If the people in Hollywood ever discovered him, they'd realize he's a goldmine."

-- Gerald Wenner, Director/Cinematographer/Independent Filmmaker
