Lee Harry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lee Harry is an American film director and editor, best known for directing the Christmas slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 and Street Soldiers. Along with fellow Burbank editor Joseph H. Earle, Harry was tasked to use his editing skills to make Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 look like a different film than the original, which would then be repackaged as a sequel.[1] It has since become a cult classic.[2] Harry admits to being pleased by the reception the notoriously inept film has received.
He has done motion picture advertising trailers for Carroll & Co, Seiniger Advertising, Cimarron-Bacon-O’Brien, Vision Advertising, Kaleidoscope Films, and Buddha Jones.[3][4]
His dramatic short film The Whistler was nominated at the Burbank International Film Festival (2015).[5][6]
Harry received a Student Academy Award for his work on Button, Button in 1978. The film was screened by director Steven Spielberg.[7]
His other accolades include a Hollywood Reporter 2008 Movie Marketing Key Art Award, for his AV work on No Country For Old Men.[8]
He is a graduate of the University of Bridgeport.[9]
