Jay Holgate

Smoke Editor

Jay Holgate began his post-production career by taking his sister to lunch.

Already long-established as a burger-flipping, grocery-bagging, radio-announcing, car-detailing janitor, Holgate's bright future took an even more lustrous turn when he surprised sister Julie at the TV station where she worked with a piping hot "Personal Pan Pizza." He was offered a part-time position as a sports photographer by the station's director. That led to employment with a Twin Cities news organization in 1989, and subsequently into the post-production world in 1994.

In 2001, Holgate came to Fischer Edit/FX. He's worked on various campaigns for Target, 3M, Marshall Field's, H&R Block and many others. A favorite project was an award-winning piece for the Nature Conservancy detailing some of the last unspoiled regions of China, featured in a private screening for that country's premier and for the Hong Kong cinematic opening of "The Da Vinci Code."

Holgate hails originally from Fargo, North Dakota. Yes. He has seen the movie.
