Biography
John Fahy began his career in 1993 as a copywriter for Grey Advertising.

In 1994 he was recruited by then-fledgling Miramax Films to serve as their National Advertising Coordinator. Over the next two years, the independent movie studio took off, releasing a string of box-office hits, backed by innovative advertising campaigns, and Fahy was promoted to Creative Director and Vice President of Advertising.

Fahy went on to direct global advertising efforts for numerous blockbuster movies and became a key player in Miramax’s notorious Academy Award campaigns, helping the studio win three Best Picture Oscars in six years.

Fahy left Miramax in 2002 to become a full time script doctor and creative consultant. In 2004, during a script-doctor job for a film already in post production, Fahy discovered how similar writing and editing challenges are, and decided to branch out into motion picture editing. He went on to cut numerous films, television series, trailers, promos, music videos, and consumer advertising campaigns.

In 2006, Fahy expanded his storytelling palette into motion design and visual effects, conceptualizing and directing visual-effects sequences for a slew of film and commercial projects.
