From there, he continued as an Assistant Editor on numerous Paperny projects.

Now in 2007, Tyler is an Editor/Online Editor for Paperny Films, involved in colour correction and editing a number of shows that are in production and development.

Tyler Hill

Tyler is one of the newer additions to the Paperny clan. Having recently returned from a stint in Hong Kong, he can personally attest that the film industry there is still alive and kicking... and punching... and shooting... Primarily responsible for on-lining Glutton for Punishment and Road Hockey Rumble, Tyler also handles any external project that might come through the Paperny doors.

With 10 years experience working as an online editor and the ability to abstain from blinking for long periods of time, Tyler maintains a high standard of quality when attacking every project.

Lisa Turner

Lisa comes to Paperny Films with over 10 years of experience in the film and television industry. Coupled with her background in Business and Economics and her passion for being behind the camera, Lisa's skills make for the perfect blend in a very demanding business.

She started her career in post with Finale and the visual effects house Image Engine in 1997, and quickly fell in love with the pace and excitement of the industry. Lisa helped produce and coordinate visual effects for many television shows and feature films here in Vancouver, working with talented filmmakers on features such as "Blades of Glory", "Night at the Museum", "I, Robot" and "X-Men 2" to name a few.

Inspired by the drive and talent of these gifted filmmakers, Lisa returned to school to follow her own dreams of documentary filmmaking. With years of experience under her belt and a desire to be part of meaningful television productions, Lisa made the leap into documentary filmmaking and took a job with Paperny Films in the fall of 2007. Joining a talented post production team here at Paperny Films, Lisa looks forward to greater involvement with the many important productions that the company produces.
