Steve Bloom

Editor · Born June 4, 1961 (65)

Steve Bloom is an award-winning American film editor with over 30 years of experience in film, television, and documentary production. He is a member of the American Cinema Editors (ACE) and has worked with major studios such as Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), DreamWorks PDI, and Pixar. Bloom began working at Pixar in the early 2000s, initially being offered an opening for editing short films before moving on to full-length features. His editing credits include James and the Giant Peach, Antz, Monsters University, Coco, Toy Story 4, Turning Red, and Elio. He was also involved in ILM’s canceled CG Frankenstein project and contributed as an additional editor on Shrek and an assistant editor on Mars Attacks, though he remained uncredited on those projects due to his limited involvement (He edited approximately 8 to 9 minutes of Shrek’s footage, according to his own account). Bloom’s favorite Pixar films are The Incredibles, Inside Out, Ratatouille, Toy Story 3, and Coco. His least favorite is Cars 2, he doesn’t like the Cars series in general, but he told me not to say that online (oops)

Reviewers score the pacing 66/100 in their films, across 10 reviewed titles; fans 71, detractors 49. The element that speaks to their work as an editor.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
