BIOGRAPHY
Edward Holub has directed and shot two narrative feature films and many shorts on motion picture film stock and high definition digital. He is also one of the major independent/documentary producer/director/camera persons who covered New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Edward learned photography, at age eight, from his father in Ohio. He began making films during college at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and then at the Eastman School of Photography, Rochester Institute of Technology, New York (BFA ’85).
Edward worked most of his adult life in New York City as a top advertising photographer for national clients such as R.J. Reynolds and Jim Beam Brands. Edward is well known throughout the industry for producing top quality creative work with a unique cinematic eye. He is famous for illustrating the covers of mystery and vintage noir novels, by publishers throughout the world, for authors like Dashiell Hammett, Jim Thompson, Cornell Woolrich, and Eric Ambler, among others.
Edward journeyed to New Orleans to develop a feature film about the 1950’s Ninth Ward. However, Post Katrina, he shifted gears to produce documentary. He has since worked extensively, utilizing many different video formats for a series of national clients including Barbara Kopple and Disney for both the documentary and feature film worlds as a Director/DP/Editor.
