Bio

Chris Innis graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Film and received her M.F.A. from the, Cal Arts Film School. Raised in Southern California, she worked her way up through Hollywood’s rank and file as a teenage movie theater cashier and popcorn salesgirl at the United Artists, Mann's and Landmark theaters. Her father, Don Innis, is an architect who designed the San Diego embarcadero, the San Diego Broadway Pier, and one of the terminals at San Diego's Lindbergh International Airport, and is a pioneer of the idea of a "floating airport," in San Diego, California. Chris Innis was mentored by Academy Award winning editor, Pietro Scalia, to whom she served as an assistant editor. She worked with him on such films as JFK, The Quick and the Dead and G.I. Jane. Some of her other editorial credits include Indecent Proposal, Dead Beat, I Shot a Man in Vegas and White Man’s Burden. Since 1997, her editing partner is Bob Murawski. They were introduced to each other by executive producer, Sam Raimi, on the TV series “American Gothicâ€�, where the two worked as editors. Both have worked on various Sam Raimi projects, though not always the same ones. They have since worked together on Raimi's The Gift and Spider-Man III. They have also collaborated on various Grindhouse Releasing and Box Office Spectaculars films, both companies which distribute cult films for the VHS and DVD markets, and the businesses are owned or co-owned and run by Bob Murawski.
