Terry Curren
Terry Curren is a principal and editor at Alpha Dogs in Burbank, California. He hosts a
popular series of gatherings in Los Angeles known as the Editor's Lounge.
He began his career in the early 1980s by directing, editing, and producing music
videos as well as a successful direct-to-video feature film, Interview with Terror.
In 1986, he began work at Matchframe Video, a Burbank-based postproduction stu-
dio, where he spearheaded the creation of the studio's edit bays while perfecting his
editing and color correction skillset under the tutelage of top-tier DaVinci colorists.
With the introduction of Avid's Symphony online nonlinear edit system and the
introduction of its powerful color corrector, Terry saw a golden opportunity. He proceeded
to hone his color correction and effects skills with this new toolset until he became a
respected colorist in his own right.
Seeing the future, Terry started Alpha Dogs, Inc., in 2002. They currently provide
audio and video finishing and graphic design on a wide variety of formats from feature
films to television, documentaries, and commercials.
