Skyler Barrett is a Los Angeles based Editor, Colorist, Filmmaker, & Photographer.
An Atlanta native, Skyler’s love of all things film and television started at an early age, and piqued her interest in creating complex, layered characters. After being accepted into Columbia College Hollywood in 2007, she made the move to Los Angeles. Many opportunities followed, including internships in Casting and Production at CBS Studios, ABC Studios, and Colbert Mento Casting.
After graduating with a BFA in Film/TV Editing, she went on to cast commercials and book extras at Prime Casting, write and direct her own short films, edit other filmmakers’ projects on a freelance basis, and created the award-winning digital series, Reckless Juliets, now streaming on Amazon Prime. The dark dramedy series presented an interesting challenge due to the complexity of the characters and situations. The episodes range from hard hitting drama dealing with suicide and mental illness to black comedy dealing with body issues and drug habits among foul mouthed, sarcastic teenage girls. The series went on to screen at several festivals including Hollyweb, NYC Web Fest, Vancouver Web Fest, Female Filmmakers Fuse, Mammoth Film Festival, Hollywood Comedy Shorts, Playhouse West Film Festival, and many more.
Currently, her focus is on working as a freelance Editor, Colorist, and Photographer.
