Who is Elliot Graham?

Elliot Graham is an American film editor whose work on the film Milk was nominated for the Academy Award for Film Editing and for the American Cinema Editors Eddie Award.

In 1999, Graham received bachelor's degrees in history and in film from New York University. Graham's first editing credit was for The Last Minute, which is an independent film that was written, directed, and edited by Stephen Norrington. Graham was initially hired to assist Norrington with editing, but ultimately shared the editing credit. Graham subsequently worked on two films with director Bryan Singer, X2 and Superman Returns; he co-edited these films with John Ottman. Graham also edited the pilot for the television program, House, which was also directed by Singer.

Several critics have written about the editing of Milk, which intermixes archival footage from the era of the film with footage of the actors.
