Biography: Born in Montréal, Saul Pincus joined La Femme Nikita in its first season, and went on to assist and collaborate with editors David Thompson and Richard Wells. Saul was also responsible for editing the “previously on” segments, as well as several LFN promotion reels, including the internal promo sent to then-new USA Networks president Barry Diller to acquaint him with the concept, style and highlights of the show. In addition, he compiled and edited the season two wrap reel, which in addition to bloopers featured gags, music, and glimpses of cast and crew on set and off. Blaine Johnson, LFN’s late music supervisor, would often carpool to the production office in Saul’s car, regaling him with stories of bringing up his beloved daughter; Blaine and Saul’s jokey repartee and their mutual love of music for film remains one of Saul’s fondest memories of the LFN experience. Saul remained with LFN until the mid-point of season three, when he left to edit his first feature film solo.

Today, Saul is a Toronto-based editor specializing in shaping long-form entertainment. His foremost collaboration, with veteran director Sidney J. Furie (The Ipcress File, Lady Sings the Blues, Iron Eagle), spans eight films and sixteen years. He is also the editor of Leon Marr's The Second Time Around, featuring Don Francks in his final screen performance.

Recently, Saul co-wrote and directed Nocturne, a multi-award winning feature film about an insomniac who falls in love with a sleepwalker; Nocturne premiered at the Warsaw Film Festival and is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and X-Box in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and in 47 other countries around the world.
