Meet Evan Nowack, a Southern California native and versatile filmmaker specializing in directing, writing, editing, sound design, and acting. With a focus on post-production, Evan crafts immersive narratives that resonate long after the credits roll.
Evan Nowack, a Southern Californian native based in Orange County, emerges as a multifaceted force in filmmaking, boasting a rich repertoire as a film editor and sound designer. Currently navigating the nuanced landscapes of a Film and Television BFA program at Chapman University—renowned as the #4 American film school according to the Hollywood Reporter—an early fascination with storytelling and cinematic creation marks Evan's journey.
Evan is currently a post-production intern at Blumhouse Productions, where he collaborates with the post-production team to organize and manage assets, maintain efficient editing workflows, and facilitate clear communication between post-production teams to meet tight deadlines for Blumhouse’s feature films. His responsibilities also include assisting in quality control processes by reviewing deliverables, contributing to stock footage research, and participating in VFX review sessions, all while honing technical expertise in Avid Media Composer, ProTools, and DaVinci Resolve.
Evan's cinematic odyssey began at 7, crafting Lego videos and iMovie trailers, a creative spark that ignited a lifelong passion. His journey into the world of editing commenced at 12, as he delved into the intricacies of Final Cut Pro, later mastering Adobe Premiere in high school. Today, Evan expertly navigates Premiere and DaVinci Resolve for editing and ProTools for sound designing in stereo, 5.1, and Dolby Atmos, seamlessly intertwining technical prowess with an intuitive understanding of the filmmaker's art.
His commitment to excellence in storytelling has garnered laurels from over ten film festivals nationwide, underscoring his ability to captivate audiences with narratives that resonate on a profound level. Evan's accolades extend to performance, having been recognized as the Best Supporting Actor in Southern California by the California Educational Theatre Association and awarded Best Lead Actor in Orange County by the Orange County Cappies.
Beyond the confines of filmmaking, Evan is a polymath with a penchant for diverse interests. His love for landscape photography is evident in his ability to capture the essence of the world around him. A practitioner of Transcendental Meditation, Evan finds solace and inspiration in mindfulness practices. His vocal talents extend beyond the cinematic realm, and he boasts proficiency in various dialects, celebrity impersonations, and the art of beatboxing.
