Danish-born filmmaker Lars Fuchs came to the United States as an infant in the '60's, and has made New York City his home ever since, notwithstanding sojourns in Europe, Hong Kong, and Puerto Rico. He was irredeemably lost to film at Cornell University, where an introductory film-making course tempted him away from a career as a computer programmer.

 

He has over twenty years' experience as a film and television editor, much of it in Europe and Asia. Notable credits include the feature documentary New York Street Games, the six-part series for ESPN Guide House: Montauk, for which he also served as story editor, the home design show While You Were Out, for which Lars was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. In Denmark Lars edited three episodes of the documentary series Family Portraits (Familieportrætter) for the national broadcaster, Danmarks Radio.

 

He has recently received his Master of Fine Arts degree from The City College of New York in Media Arts Production, with major in Producing and Directing the Documentary. His thesis film, i live In Life, won the 2013 Danielle and Larry Nyman Family Project Award, and is currently being submitted to festivals around the world.
