Eternal music-lover, I first experimented with art, photo & DJing. All those passions naturally converged into a career in editing which has now lasted for more than 25 years.

Sylvain has an exceptional ability to bring inventive and sensitive feelings to his work. His attention to detail gives him an edge that is seldom seen in this business. His unique talent and ability as an editor is undeniable.

Director The Dovekeepers.

Film is an art that combines an ability to tell a compelling story with stellar performances and great emotions while blending it all with sound and music. Sylvain understands the intricacies of this art and has the ability to tackle story problems and create solutions when none seem apparent that quickly.

We’ve worked together over the course of 20 years and he has time and again proven to not only be integral to the technical process of filmmaking but has also been an indispensable creative partner.

Director Human Trafficking, Hitler: The Rise of Evil, Ride Above.

During my career I have been fortunate enough to work with professionals of the highest calibre and count many esteemed actors, writers, editors and directors as my colleagues. In Sylvain Lebel, I found an editor I trust implicitly. He has that rare ability to construct the appropriate emotional response to the subject matter and he has a strong sense of filmic rhythm and visual narrative. His unique talent and cinematic judgement is something I've come to rely on.
