Gabriel Fleming’s diverse, 20-year editing career spans big-budget action films, independent art films, documentaries and scripted television. He worked on three of director Peter Berg’s major features: 2013’s Lone Survivor, 2016’s Deepwater Horizon, and 2018’s Patriots Day. Fleming edited the 2018 independent film Blindspotting, which was acquired by Lionsgate after its opening night screening at the Sundance Film Festival.

​

Fleming also edited director Ric Roman Waugh’s 2019 feature Angel Has Fallen, starring Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman, along with Waugh’s 2020 end-of-the-world movie Greenland. Recent credits include 2023’s No One Will Save You, directed by Brian Duffield for 20th Century Studios, 2021’s National Champions directed by Ric Roman Waugh for STXFilms, and 2021’s Trees of Peace, an independent feature from first-time director Alanna Brown about women struggling to survive the Rwandan genocide.

Fleming started his career as an apprentice editor on a big-budget feature before moving to San Francisco where he edited independent films, documentaries and video art. He also wrote and directed award-winning micro-budget art films, two of which premiered at SXSW. When he moved back to Los Angeles, Fleming worked on independent features such as director Kelly Reichardt’s films Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy, starring Michelle Williams, before serving as an editor on big-budget features.
