Roger Barton (born July 1, 1966, in Los Angeles) is an American film editor.[1] He has worked on dozens of Hollywood films, including Titanic, Armageddon, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.[2]

Career

Barton is particularly known for his work on large-budget action films, such as Pearl Harbor, World War Z, A Quiet Place, and theTransformers film series. Additionally, Barton is the Co-Founder of Evercast, a secure remote collaboration platform. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when Hollywood was shut down, Evercast became an indispensable tool for filmmakers; enabling them to continue working remotely. This innovation helped Evercast win a 2020 Engineering Emmy.

In 2019, Walt Disney Pictures invited Roger to join their creative team. Since then, he has temporarily paused his freelance career to lend his experience to their feature film department.

In August of 2022, Roger married Jackie Volker, uniting together her six children and his son Aidan, who played both Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as infants in the motion picture Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

Currently, Roger works as an Editorial Creative Consultant for Walt Disney Pictures and is in the process of finishing a script about Medal of Honor recipient, William J. Crawford.
