Editor – Greg O’Bryant
EXTRAPOLATIONS editor, Greg O’Bryant has once again teamed up with writer/director Scott Z. Burns, this time to take on the challenge of creating an entertaining, educational and hopefully motivational series about the future effects of climate change. Delivered as an anthology series, one of the more daunting tasks for the team would be managing the often dramatic shifts in tone, as well as the delicate balance between drama and, on occasion, comedy.
Taking place in the not-too-distant future, but over the span of thirty-three years, EXTRAPOLATIONS shows how the effects of climate change have become embedded into people’s everyday lives; through eight interwoven stories that explore the intimate, life-changing choices that must be made when the planet is changing faster than the population.
GREG O’BRYANT
Greg first began his partnership with Scott Z. Burns on the latter’s political drama, THE REPORT (2019). Greg would also edit an episode of the series, THE LOUDEST VOICE (2019) that Burns helmed. In addition to his work with Scott Z. Burns, Greg is also a frequent collaborator with show runner, Nick Antosca. Their partnership first began on CHANNEL ZERO, a SyFy Channel anthology series based on the popular Internet “Creepypastas” Candle Cove, The No-End House and Butcher’s Block. Subsequent projects with Antosca would include Hulu’s original series, THE ACT, as well as the Netflix series, BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR. Greg also edited the tv series, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, adapted from the film by Steven Soderbergh…who directed CONTAGION…written by Scott Z. Burns.
