Today, we’re featuring Bill Zabala, a seasoned film editor with a remarkable journey in both film and life.
Born in San Bernardino and raised in Upland, California, Bill is a proud member of the first full television generation and developed a love for movies at just 8 years old. His early passion for cinema led him to explore drama in college, but a career on the stage took a detour when Bill left school to go on tour as a drummer before serving in the Army. After 17 months in Germany and working for the Gas Company, a chance meeting with friends in the television industry led Bill to Universal studios and a career in filmmaking. Bill went on to become a wonderful film editor, helping bring stories to life on screen.
